Keep updAted with our electronic newsletters
You may notice copies of our Electronic Newsletter at various businesses and locations within the School District. In an effort to reach more of our community members and parents, we are distributing copies of the newsletter at the Village and Town Halls, Libraries, and at local businesses. Past editions of our newsletter can be found by accessing the District website at www.wheatland.k12.ny.us and selecting the QUICK LINKS tab on the left-hand side of the page for the Electronic Newsletter.
I would like to thank you again for your support of and contributions to the success of our school system. You are our critical partners as we prepare our students for successful futures. As we engage with you to continue this work, our Board of Education has identified two priorities for the District in 2014-2015:
Encourage all students to do better; andImprove communication and customer service.
There are many exciting things occurring in the District this year to support these priorities:
• First, you will see the $5.91 million capital project approved by the voters in 2013 taking shape as we received approval from the State Education Department to begin the work. The major renovation of our Project Lead The Way engineering and technology classrooms will begin in the fall, followed by the renovation of the pool locker rooms and mechanical work in the pool area.
• We are introducing our elementary students to the wonders of a Science-Technology-Engineering-Math (STEM) approach to learning this year in kindergarten, second, and fourth grades through the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Launch. We plan to continue the STEM focus in 2015-2016 in grades one, three, and five, which will result in a K-12 STEM opportunity for our students.
• Students will engage this year in the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. All staff were trained last year in this prevention program. We are looking forward to using these principles to engage our students and parents, and improve our responses to bullying behaviors that may occur.
• In the coming weeks, you will hear about our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative that will be rolled out within the community. T. J. Connor Elementary School is partnering with the Scottsville and Chili Town Libraries to encourage all families with pre-school aged students to partner with us and read 1,000 books to their children before kindergarten.
• Finally, preliminary work has occurred toward achieving accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Accreditation is a process to ensure that we meet challenging, achievable standards of quality, and provides a mechanism for continuous school improvement.
We will keep you informed on our progress throughout the school year through our biweekly Electronic Newsletters, print newsletters, and on the District website. We will also be seeking interested community stakeholders to engage with us in this work.
At Wheatland-Chili, we believe in the potential of our youth to grow and to excel as citizens in a global society. We will search for better ways to deliver services and support to our students throughout the 2014-2015 school year.
I wish you all a happy and successful school year.
Deborah Leh, Ed.D.

Board of EducationAs your elected representatives, the Wheatland-Chili Board of Education strives to ensure the best possible program for all students at the most reasonable cost. Board members are elected to three-year terms. They are volunteers who serve without pay. Board members are required to follow State law in the provision of an educational program and all other aspects of our district. Members of the Board of Education value their role as your representatives, examining issues in education law and policy, and making informed decisions designed to protect students at all times. They oversee district activities through close contact with the Superintendent of Schools and other administrators.
The Board of Education meets in the Board Conference Room, Central Office, 13 Beckwith Avenue, according to the schedule listed. The public session begins at 7 p.m. All Board meetings are open to the public and district residents are urged to attend these meetings.
Participation through comments and suggestions is welcome at any time. Written communications can be sent to the Board in care of the Superintendent, District Office, 13 Beckwith Avenue, Scottsville, NY 14546, or by e-mail to [email protected]. A portion of our district's webpage is devoted to Board of Education activities. On it you will find the agenda and minutes for all Board meetings. This is one way in which the Board is trying to keep the community informed about its activities and actions.
Persons interested in running for the Board of Education must file a petition at the District Office at least 30 days prior to the Board election. The last day for such petitions is April 20, 2015.

The Wheatland-Chili Parent Teacher Association strives to inspire positive change in our community. To accomplish this, we believe that it is vitally important for our children to see us, as parents and role models, actively involved in their lives by supporting and volunteering in planned activities. In addition, we are committed to supporting the parents, teachers, and role models in their efforts to provide creative learning environments that encourage academic and social growth.
For more information, please contact Jaime Lange at 746-2938.

new entrAntsIf you are new to the district, please register your children at the District Office, 13 Beckwith Avenue, as soon as possible. Children may begin school in Wheatland-Chili before they actually reside in the district if their parents are in the process of establishing residence in Wheatland-Chili and that process can be verified through records.
School personnel may give your children tests to determine the best classroom placement and courses for them. The school will make arrangements for the transfer of your children’s records from their former school after you sign a release form.

olweus Bullying prevention progrAM
This school year, we are implementing the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program for our kindergarten through 12th grade students. Olweus will support the District’s efforts to reduce bullying issues among students, prevent the development of bullying problems, and to achieve better peer relations at
school. Coordinating committees have been formed at T. J. Connor Elementary and the Middle/High School comprised of staff, students, parents, and community members. All staff members have been trained in the principles of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. Students and staff were surveyed to guide our implementation, and parents will be given an opportunity to also complete a survey on their perception of bullying in our schools.
opportunities for pArentAl involveMent
Parents wishing to be involved in their child’s school may do so in several ways. The PTA is active and sincerely seeks volunteers for any number of planned activities. The district has a shared decision making team with parent seats available. The Board of Education meets regularly and welcomes parental input and often seeks volunteers to serve on committees studying specific issues. Classroom teachers are eager to accept volunteer assistance in many areas. If you would like to volunteer, please look under “Parental Involvement” on the webpage to fill out an application.
The Wheatland-Chili system recognizes that parents are their child’s first teachers and that parents and teachers working together provide the greatest opportunity to assure the success of each child.
worK perMitsWork permits with different restrictions for different types of jobs and hours of work are issued from the High School Office, 940 North Road, Scottsville, NY 14546 (889-6227). New York State Labor Laws governing the employment of minors (under age 18) require the following to issue a permit: parent’s permission in writing for the student to work, proof of age, and a certificate of physical fitness. These permits are available:
• Newspaper Carrier Permit - Ages 12-18 • Summer Farm Work Permit - Ages 12-13 and Ages 14-15 • Non-Factory Employment Permit - Ages 14-15 • Full-Time Employment Permit - Ages 16-17 • Student General Employment Permit - Ages 16-17
highly QuAlified teAchersIn accordance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act, parents have the right to request the following information about the professional qualifications of their children’s current classroom teacher(s):• Whether the teacher has met New York State qualifications
and licensing criteria for the grade level and subject area he or she teaches;
• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status under which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and
• The teacher’s college major; and whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and if so, the subject of those degrees.
Requests to receive any of the above information may be directed to the Superintendent’s Office at 889-6247.
McKinney-vento ActThe McKinney-Vento Act covers youth who don’t have a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence. If you lost your housing due to economic hardship and now live doubled-up with family or friends; in a shelter, motel, vehicle, camping ground, or temporary trailer; on the street; or in another type of temporary housing, your child(ren) may be able to receive help through the McKinney-Vento Act.

school closings When inclement weather, or any other emergency situation, forces the closing of district schools, the information will be communicated by radio broadcast. Please do not telephone the school.
The decision to close schools in weather-related situations will normally be made no later than 6:15 a.m. The following will be notified as soon as possible:
WHAM 13 and related media outlets
WHEC 10
WROC 8
YNN
Democrat and Chronicle
The District will post school closing information on the District website and will use the automated calling system to send telephone calls and emails to parents and guardians listed in our student management system. Please make certain that your telephone number and email address are accurate by contacting the School Secretary.
When the schools are closed due to weather conditions, all other activities including sports practices, student activities, and adult and continuing education classes will be cancelled for the entire day.
"go hoMe plAn" On rare occasions it may be necessary to close the district’s schools due to loss of power, loss of water, or other emergency situations. In such an instance the district will attempt to transport students to their homes in the same manner that they are usually taken home at the close of the school day. If both the elementary and secondary schools must be closed early, we will try to dismiss the secondary first so that older siblings will be home to care for younger brothers and sisters. Radio and television stations will be notified.
It is especially important that parents pre-arrange child care in the event that an emergency school closing is necessary. If the pre-arranged child care is at a different site than at the child’s home, the principal should be notified in advance so that proper transportation can be arranged.
trAnsportAtionBus transportation is provided for all children.
Safety of students is of prime importance, and parents are urged to be sure their children understand that disorderly behavior is extremely dangerous in a moving vehicle. The bus driver has complete charge of the bus. Drivers will refer serious discipline problems to the school administration for appropriate action. Adequate safety demands orderly behavior on school buses.
All district transportation policies are reviewed annually by the Board of Education and are intended to provide safe and cost effective services.
Special Transportation: Busing is provided for students who attend non-public schools located within 15 miles of the child’s home. State law requires that the parents file a written request annually with the district’s transportation office prior to April 1. Parents must submit a request for transportation when applying for non-public school enrollment prior to the April 1 deadline, pending acceptance into the non-public school. Requests for transportation to and/or from child care providers must be requested by August 1.
If you have any questions regarding transportation, contact the Transportation Department at 889-6243.
school lunch depArtMentThe School Lunch Department offers the national breakfast and lunch program at the elementary and secondary schools. The school lunch fulfills one-third of a child’s requirements for calories, protein,
vitamins, and minerals. The breakfast program is designed to fulfill one-quarter of a child’s nutritional requirements. Clearly, school meals are a benefit to a child’s health and ability to learn.
• School meals are subsidized by the state and federal governments. This helps the school district keep the meal price low so that most students are able to participate.
• Additional school meal subsidies are available for families that are determined to be eligible for the Free and/or Reduced Price Meal Program. Applications are available at each school office or by contacting the School Lunch Department at 889-6257. A new application must be filed each school year.
• A school meal program announcement, menus, prepaid meal information, and free and/or reduced lunch applications are mailed to all parents in August.
• The School Lunch Department has a computerized cashing system. All students have accounts in the system.
• Prepayments may be made into a student’s account at MealPay.com or at the cafeteria cashier.
• Prepaid money may be used for meals only or meals, milk, and al a-carte items at the parent’s discretion.
For questions, please contact the School Lunch Department, 889-6257.

Health ServicesheAlth services
School nurses perform a variety of services to help insure the children’s health on a daily basis and to help them develop habits beneficial to long term health. Each year, nurses screen students for scoliosis and vision or hearing problems and conduct a general health screening. Our nurses are available to counsel students and parents on health related problems. They are also vital to the district’s health education program, working with teachers to help students learn good health habits.
Immunization: All students are required by law to be immunized against polio, diphtheria, measles, German measles (Rubella), and mumps. School districts may not admit students without proof of immunization.
Illness or Injury at School: If your child becomes sick or injured during the school day, you or the person whom you designate will be called. The school nurse will administer first aid if it is needed. If you cannot be reached or if the situation appears to be an emergency, family or school doctors will be called and the student will be taken to the hospital. Your child will not be sent home unless the school can reach you, a neighbor you designate, or another family member who can arrange to be home when the child arrives.
If a student is diagnosed as having a contagious disease or a condition that can be easily spread, the school nurses will notify the parents of students with whom he/she may have been in contact and assist in recommending the necessary treatment. Tutoring services during an extended illness (generally two weeks or longer) may be arranged through the principal’s office.
Physical Examinations: Kindergarten, second, fourth, seventh, and tenth grade students are asked to bring a report of a health examination by their family physician. This examination is also required for those students participating in team sports and club sports (ski club and cheerleading). If such a report is not provided, the school physician will examine the student and report any concerns to the parent/guardian.
Services to Non-Public School Students: Students in the non-public schools are provided with the following services: health examination, hearing & vision testing, speech correction, psychological examination (on request), school social work services (on request), library materials under Chapter II, Chapter I remedial reading and math for grades 1-8, transportation, textbooks, vocational instruction, and computer software.
use of suBstAncesAll students and staff of the Wheatland-Chili Central School District are prohibited from possession, using, or being under the influence of drugs, hallucinogens, and/or narcotics at all times. Possession, consumption, or being under the influence of alcohol is also forbidden. In accordance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, the use or sale of illicit drugs, as well as alcohol and steroids on school premises or at any school sponsored activity, home or away, may result in the immediate removal of the student from school or the dismissal or termination of employment of the staff member.
Any act which is criminal or illegal will automatically be referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

pupil Accident insurAnce progrAM
Pupil accident insurance coverage is carried by Blue Cross Blue Shield of the Rochester Area. Claims and communications regarding this plan should be addressed as follows:
Blue Cross Blue Shield of the Rochester Area165 Court StreetRochester, NY 14647
The district’s student insurance contract is a supplemental one. This means that it is designed to assist in paying medical bills which are not covered by the family policy or to cover limited expenses in the event that the family does not have an accident policy. This insurance program does not guarantee 100% coverage. Claim forms and a brochure outlining coverage through the district’s accident policy may be obtained from the school nurse or on the district website under the Services/Health Services tab.

speciAl educAtion servicesThe Wheatland-Chili Central School District offers special services for children with learning, physical, and emotional difficulties which interfere with their ability to learn. No discrimination against any person with a disability will be permitted in any of the programs and practices in the Wheatland-Chili Central School District. The District recognizes its responsibilities under Public Law which require it to identify and evaluate children ages 3-21, and, if a child is determined to be eligible, to provide access to free appropriate educational services.
The Committee on Special Education and Committee on Preschool Special Education are multi-disciplinary district committees which review all student referrals for special education support. Final recommendations are made to the Board of Education. An appeal procedure exists to give due process rights to parents and children.
counselingMany young people will need periodic help to deal with the world in which they live. All young people will need help with decisions and planning.
Your child’s school counselor is a professional who is trained to deal with both issues. Among other roles, the school counselor assists students in making personal choices and developing long range plans, provides personal counseling, coordinates and interprets students’ records and testing, and disseminates information about school offerings, higher education, and careers.

Important Notices
This is to advise you of your rights with respect to the school records relating to your child, or yourself (for students 18 or older) with regard to the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (“FERPA”).
Parents of a student under 18, or a student 18 or older (an “eligible student”), have a right to inspect and review any and all official records, files, and data directly related to their children, or themselves, including all material that is incorporated into each student’s cumulative record folder, and intended for school use or to be available to parties outside the school or school system, and specifically including, but not limited to, identifying data, academic work completed, level of achievement (grades, standardized achievement test scores), attendance data, scores on standardized intelligence, aptitude, and psychological tests, interest inventory results, health data, family background information, teacher or counselor ratings and observations, and verified reports of serious recurrent behavior patterns.
A parent of a student under 18 years of age or an eligible student shall make a request for access to a child’s (or their own) school records, in writing to
school principal (K-5) or school counselor (6-12). Upon receipt of such request, arrangements shall be made to provide access to such records within a reasonable period of time, but in no case no more than fifteen (15) days after the request has been received.
Such parents and students are also entitled to an opportunity for a hearing to challenge the content of such records, to insure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy or other rights of students, and to provide an opportunity for the correction or deletion of any such inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate data contained therein. Any questions concerning the procedures to be followed in requesting such a hearing should be directed to the superintendent of schools.
Student records and any material contained therein, which is personally identifiable, are confidential and may not be released or made available to persons other than parents or eligible students without the written consent of such parents or eligible student. There are a number of exceptions to this rule, such as other school employees and officials, and certain State and Federal officials, who have legitimate educational need for access to such records in the course of their employment.
notice of releAse of student directory inforMAtion
Wheatland-Chili’s Student Directory Information Policy (#7242) includes a designation of the following directory information regarding students currently attending one of the District’s schools. This is information that may be released for non-commercial and non-fund-raising purposes without parent consent:
Name; date and place of birth; major field of study; grade level; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; weight and height (if members of athletic teams); dates of attendance; honors, degrees and awards received; photograph; and the name of the educational agency or institution most recently previously attended by the student.
In addition to the above information, the District will limit the release of address, telephone listing, and email addresses for such purposes as school yearbooks, honor roll lists, graduation programs, playbills, and other similar uses. Requests for limited directory information disclosure must be approved by the superintendent or designee.
Parents, guardians, and eligible students have the right to have their child’s (or their own) name and the information indicated above removed from the directory information list. If you remove your child’s or your name from the directory information list, the above information will not be shared.
If you choose this option for the 2014-2015 school year, please complete the “Notice of Objection to Release of Limited Student Directory Information” contained on the District website (www.wheatland.k12.ny.us) and forward to your school principal by October 1 of each school year.
notice of releAse of inforMAtion to MilitAry recruitersUnder the No Child Left Behind Act (“NCLB”), the District (Military Recruiters’ Access to Secondary School Students and Information on Students Policy #7243) is required to disclose the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of high school students to military recruiters, subject to the right of parents and students over age 18 (“eligible students”) to “opt out” and preclude such disclosure. Parents and eligible students who wish to “opt out” and preclude disclosure must complete an “opt out” form and return the form to the high school principal by October 1 of each school year. The form is included on the District website (www.wheatland.k12.ny.us).
