Dear Parents/ Guardians,

 

At Genesee Schools, the safety and security of our students, staff, and visitors is our top priority.  To ensure a safe learning environment, we are implementing the following procedures during school hours, effective immediately.

1. Entry Through Office:  Students, parents, and guests are expected to enter the school building through the office doors only.  All exterior doors will remain locked during school hours.  Exception:  7:30 Students who are having breakfast may enter the door by the office (door will be attended by a staff member), and at 7:45, Teacher/ Administrators will let students in to the respective ends. of their building through the front doors. At 7:50, all students will be expected to enter through the secondary office doors. 
2. Visitor Check In:  All visitors and parents will be required to sign in at the office before being allowed to enter the school building.
3. Teacher Visits:  All visitors must be checked in at the office, and the office will contact the teacher for permission to proceed to classrooms.
4. Guest Badges are required. All visitors are required to wear a visible guest badge while in the building.

How can parents help?

• Remind your child(ren) to never open exterior doors for others (even if they know them).
• Always check in at the office when visiting the school.
• Please make sure that when you are sending guests to pick up your child(ren) that they are aware of drop-off and pickup procedures. 
• Report any suspicious activity or safety concerns to school staff or the School Resource Officer (SRO) immediately. Officer Brown can be reached at cbrown@sd282.org or 208-285-1161 ext 4121.

These procedures, along with your support, help us maintain a secure environment where students can focus on learning without interruptions. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our students safe. 

If you have questions or concerns regarding school safety procedures, please contact the school office at 208-285-1161. 

Thank you for helping us create a safe and welcoming school community.

Sincerely,

Dr. Wendy Moore, Supt.

 

Dear Students, Staff, and Families,

Happy New Year! I am delighted to welcome you back for what promises to be another exciting and productive year at Genesee Joint School District. As we step into 2025, I am filled with optimism and gratitude for the incredible community we share.

Our schools are places of learning, growth, and connection, and I am continually inspired by the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our students, and the unwavering support of our families. Together, we have created a strong foundation for success, and I am eager to build on that momentum as we move forward.

This year, we will focus on building an environment where everyone feels cared for and supported. By fostering a culture of kindness, collaboration, and understanding, we aim to create a space where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. When we support one another and celebrate our shared achievements, we all succeed.

As we begin this new chapter, I encourage each of you to set ambitious goals, lend a helping hand when needed, and take pride in the collective achievements of our district. By working together, we can make 2025 a year to remember.

Thank you for being an integral part of our school community. Here’s to another great year of learning, growth, and success!

Warm regards,
Wendy J Moore, Ph.D.
