Attention WC BOCES Families: GV BOCES has sent the following message to its families: This morning while sorting through a container of donated tools, a metal cylindrical object was found in the box. Out of an abundance of caution the building was evacuated. Upon arrival authorities determined that further investigation was needed. The Mt. Morris May Center has canceled classes for the afternoon. Students are being picked up by buses from their districts. WC staff are currently working on the logistics to help students who were evacuated and transported back to WC get their personal belongings, which may have been left behind during the evacuation, subject to access to the building.
WCCS to Resume Activities: The campus is open for regularly scheduled activities. Coaches and advisors will reach out today regarding practice, games or activities. If you do not hear from them, please assume your activity is canceled.
Late last night, Wednesday, November 1st, the Wayland-Cohocton Central School District received notification of a threat made on social media. The district began working with the local law enforcement to investigate the threat. At this time the district and law enforcement have not been able to resolve the situation. Therefore, we are canceling all classes today on both campuses. This includes students who attend programs at other locations, including BOCES programs. The district and law enforcement will continue the investigation throughout the day, today, Thursday, November 2nd, 2023. We will update families with any new information.
Wayland-Cohocton School District is aware of the threat that has been made to the district and is working with local law enforcement regarding the situation. We will continue to update you as we have more information available. Thank you. (Wednesday, November 1, 2023 11:42 p.m.)

FYI: National FEMA Test scheduled for Wednesday, October 4th
On Wednesday, October 4th, 2023, at approximately 2:20 p.m., FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Puerto Rico Emergency Management Bureau will conduct a nationwide test to assess the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) capabilities. Wayland-Cohocton is making families aware of the national test for informational purposes only.
Beginning at approximately 2:20 p.m. during the national test, cell towers will broadcast the signal for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, WEA-compatible wireless phones that are switched on, within range of an active cell tower, and whose wireless provider participates in WEA, should be capable of receiving the test message. To help ensure that these alerts are accessible to the entire public, including people with disabilities, the alerts are accompanied by a unique tone and vibration.
