Any high school student that took a TC3 or CCC dual enrollment ONLINE course in the Fall , Winter or Spring Semester, must submit their final grade to the Guidance Department for it to be added to their transcript. Online final grades are due by Monday, June 22nd. Students can submit grades via email as a screen shot or attachment. If Guidance does not have final online grades submitted, we are unable to add them to the transcript. This does NOT include dual enrollment courses that are taken on campus concurrently at Waverly.
Please see your Guidance Counselor if you have any questions.

We have just been notified by GSTBOCES that they will NOT be holding completion ceremonies (BOCES graduations) tomorrow as scheduled due to potential weather. Instead, the ceremonies will be held on Wednesday, June 17th. This is in conflict with our Waverly Graduation Rehearsal.
Therefore, we have moved Waverly Graduation Rehearsal to Thursday, June 18th at 8:30am at the stadium.
Waverly Graduation will still be that evening, June 18th, beginning at 7pm. More details will be out soon!
A schedule of the GST BOCES ceremonies was emailed directly to those students and families affected for the June 17 event.

Dear Parents/Caregivers/Guardians,
In New York state, all schools are required to conduct eight evacuation drills (fire drills), four lockdown drills, and one early-release drill each school year. Also, six of the evacuation drills and two of the lockdown drills must be done before Dec. 31 each school year.
All schools in New York state must conduct their safety drills in a “trauma-informed manner.” That means that our drills, such as fire or lockdown drills, need to avoid tactics that make it seem like an emergency, school shooting, or an act of violence is actually happening. This means we will never use props, actors, or simulations during our safety drills. The goal of our safety drills is to prepare, not scare our students, therefore, we will do the following:
• Parental Notification: A notice will be sent out within one week before any safety drill is conducted (at least one day and no more than seven days before the drill). This notification will not include the exact date and time of the safety drill.
• Drill Announcements: All drills (except for evacuation drills/fire drills) will be announced as drills. For example, a lockdown drill may be announced as “This is a drill. Lockdown, Lockdown, Lockdown. This is a drill.”
Safety drills help to keep our schools safe by letting us practice what to do should there be an emergency. Before we practice a drill, we teach students and staff what they need to do and talk about how the drill will be announced.
To remain in compliance, we will be conducting evacuation drills at the Middle/High School campus within one week of this message.
Please reach out to your building principal with any questions or concerns.

This pouch will be required to be handed in prior to the last day of school, or the student will incur a replacement charge of $20.
Please understand that our building is still required to maintain a distraction free learning environment for the remainder of the school year. We ask that any devices- phones, tablets, air pods, headphones, etc- are stored in lockers or backpacks during the school day.
