					<description><![CDATA[Dear Gess Gator Families,

LEO'S Photography has informed us that due to technical issues, many student photos did not turn out as expected. In order to make things right and ensure all families are happy with their pictures, they will be returning next Tuesday, October 21st to retake photos.

Additionally:

There will be no late fees applied to any current or late orders—the ordering deadline has been extended to October 21st.

Late fees will only apply 24 hours after photos are taken on the 21st.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. 

Thank you for your understanding and support!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Toothsavers is coming to Gess Elementary December 11, 2024. Your student will be sent home with a consent form. Please complete the consent and return it to the school. 

What they do: 
We send each child home with a report of services that were completed, description of findings, dentist referrals, as well as a new toothbrush and a prize. Any urgencies will be reported to the school nurse and parents will be called by Toothsavers. We aim for each child to have a positive and fun experience with Toothsavers. This can make a lifelong difference on how the children value oral health.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Toothsavers is coming to Gess Elementary December 14, 2023. Your student will be sent home with a consent form. Please complete the consent and return it to the school. 

What they do: 
We send each child home with a report of services that were completed, description of findings, dentist referrals, as well as a new toothbrush and a prize. Any urgencies will be reported to the school nurse and parents will be called by Toothsavers. We aim for each child to have a positive and fun experience with Toothsavers. This can make a lifelong difference on how the children value oral health."]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Gess Families, 

Today, we sent home two students who tested positive for Covid-19.  We have followed through with our mitigation protocols and are working to identify any close contacts.  

I would like to thank everyone for the effort your make to follow the at home screening procedures and the effort you all make to keep your students' home when they are ill or being tested for COVID-19.   

To offset the hardship of seeking a testing location the Chewelah School District is offering COVID-19 testing for families.  Please contact your school building if testing is needed (509)-685-6800 ext.4015.

Thank you,

Monday, February 7, 2022, throughout the day we were notified by different families that their students had tested positive for COVID.  Of the ten positive tests logged on Monday, only one student had been here at school.  The student who tested positive at school has been contact traced and those close contacts have been notified.  Gess Staff appreciate the effort families make to keep their children home when they are ill. These efforts combined with our Covid-19 protocols are supporting the ability to continue face to face instruction.



If you have any questions, please reach out to jprice@chewelahk12.us or 509-685-6800.

Please continue to drop off and pick up your students at the high school. Buses will continue dropping off and picking up at JJHS.

A big thank you to the High School for sharing their air conditioning with us! It’s been great in supporting student learning.

Remember, the last week of summer school is Tuesday, July 6 through Friday, July 9.

Thank you for sharing your child with us, have a great summer!
