Hello High School Wolverines!
Summer is in full swing, and we hope you are enjoying your time!

Attached is an information letter that is being mailed with your tentative schedule.
There is a lot of useful information in the letter as we start the school year.

A information packet to all Grade 12 students with schedules will go in the mail today.
About 150 other student schedules and information in grades 10 and 11 will also be mailed today.
The remainder of grade 10 and 11, and all of grade 9 will go out on Monday, August 18th.

Notice: There are some open building hours next week that you are able to come in and try out your locker, see your classrooms, and get acquainted with the building.
Please just stop in the main office to let us know you're here, and see us!
If you don't get your schedule in the mail prior to the open building hours next week, just stop by the main office when you come, and we can get you a copy.
Parent Portal/Schooltool access will open for students/families around August 27th.

Take notice to 3 important changes for this school year:
***The daily schedule for students is from 7:50-3:10 each day.
***ALL student parking is at the East End of the Front lot (closest to the tennis courts). Students may use all 4 rows and the end row in this area. Students may also use row 4 of the center section of the front lot.
***The district has a new cell phone policy to be in compliance with the state regulation. More specific details regarding the procedures, and process will be coming out to families and students next week. The Governor's office did release this new website yesterday: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.governor.ny.gov%2Fprograms%2Feliminating-distractions-new-york-schools&data=05%7C02%7Cahunt%40gstboces.org%7Ceaa563554b9c4aa42f1208dddbf45265%7C21cad22aed8d410c94e00cf5ce348478%7C0%7C0%7C638908564743471297%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mpvDjKVKLWcCS%2B0ig9HdfNukEQbb4%2FmdUi9WPrnQwsw%3D&reserved=0.

Next week is also Regents exam retakes. Anyone needing to retake should have already received a letter with the date/time, and confirmed attendance. However, please contact the main office or guidance if you are planning to come in for an exam if you haven't already done so.

SENIORS: In your mailing, you will receive an additional form regarding "Parking Spot Painting". If you are interested in painting your spot for the school year, you will need to fill out the parking registration form, as well as draft what you would like to paint. We will have some time available during the week of August 25th for you to do this. We will also have some time slots after the start of the school year. Confirmed dates/times will be sent out next week.

Enjoy the next few weeks, and please email or call if you have any questions!
We can't wait to see you all!

Let's Go!

High School Students and Families:
Please check your email!

Requesting Final Amateurism Certification Graduating student-athletes who are being recruited by an NCAA Division I or II school must request their final amateurism certification from the NCAA Eligibility Center before they can be eligible to practice, compete and receive athletics aid in college. Please see this short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT1t6_sAZ0I or easy-to-understand PDF at https://5il.co/3cayu to learn more about this quick but vital step in the process. NCAA can't complete a student's certification without it!

It's that time of year again when seniors will want to know how to access their CCC transcripts. Please refer to the information on how to request your college transcript for classes taken either concurrently at Waverly or Online for dual enrollment credit. *Please Note - The Guidance Department does not receive a copy of a student's CCC transcript and this must be done through the College directly. In addition, the student must complete the process as the College will not accept a request from a parent/guardian. 1.
