 Sept 2, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
Some mothers cry. I know this because I was invited to a mom's party after we all got our last on the bus about 5 years ago. We were supposed to make a baked good and meet up after the bus came. I knew I was at the wrong party when I showed up with Champagne in lieu of the brownies and the tears. Just kidding (about the champagne) but, I did have a song instead that I was quite proud of: "Glory Glory, Hallelujah. All three kids on the school bus..." There's more and my kids know the whole song but they also 'get me' a bit more so I'll save the rest of the lyrics for another time. That was one of the moments I realized I was different. It's okay to cry when they get on the bus, but its also okay to feel one big tremendous sense of relief. Did I mention my birthday is also the first day of school this year? Details (yes, I still like to celebrate birthdays) under the Live and Local section below...

High school equivalency exam preparation is free at FLCC
Finger Lakes Community College offers local residents, age 17 and older, day and evening classes to prepare for the state high school equivalency exam.
The exam, called the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, or TASC, replaced the exam for the former general equivalency diploma, or GED, and corresponds to the new Common Core standards now being followed at K-12 schools. All classes are free of charge.
Last year's pass rate for students who completed high school equivalency preparation at FLCC was 94 percent.
TASC classes are offered days and evenings in Canandaigua, Newark and Geneva. Day classes are also offered in Lyons and Penn Yan, and evening classes in Sodus, Wolcott and Victor.
Before beginning one of these programs, students must make an appointment to attend a three-hour orientation, which includes basic math and reading tests. Orientation sessions are offered in Canandaigua, Geneva, Lyons and Newark.
For the full schedule and details, call (585) 785-1431 or 785-1544 or click here.
