The Sharing Tree has moved! The Sharing Tree, sponsored by the Genesee Education Association, is now located by Starbucks and AT&T in the Palouse Empire Mall.

Gifts can be returned, unwrapped(please), to the wagon in the mall or directly to Donna Wommack at the school. Thank you very much for your support of this valuable project!

Emergency School Closures and Dressing for the Weather
For winter weather conditions resulting in a school closure or delay, the information will be broadcast on local radio and TV stations (KRPL, KVTY, KRLC, KMOK, KZFN, KOZE, KWSU, KATW, KHQ, KLEW, KXLY, KLEW, KHTR/KQQQ). Additionally, when possible (not during power failures) the school notification system will also be activated.
**We apologize for any inconvenience that may have occurred with the school notification system regarding this morning's school closure. It is important for parents to please let the school know when and if you make changes to phone numbers. If you received a phone call and shouldn't have, it may be due to a service change on a particular number that was surrendered by a parent, and then reassigned. If you called about that instance, it has been changed and you should no longer receive notification. We apologize. If you did not receive a call, it could be that we do not have an accurate number on file for you. We are following up on those reported instances. If you received a call (came up on caller ID) but heard no message, please remember, the system will not deliver a message until a verbal response is recognized (ie "hello", or voice message if an answering machine is reached). Additionally, if your answering machine message is longer than 30 seconds, it is likely that your message machine truncated or did not receive the message.
The notification system completed delivery to all households in approximately 10 minutes this morning, which is a very quick and efficient way to make as many people as possible personally aware. As with all automated situations, it is not perfect, but we hope you found the notification helpful as you made plans to begin the day. Again our apologies for any inconveniences or technical short comings that may have occurred.
