Welcome to Gastineau Elementary School!
2008-2009 School Year

From the Principal

 

The Juneau School District would like to thank the Alaska Native Sisterhood Glacier Valley Camp 70 and the Alaska Native Brotherhood Glacier Valley Camp 70 for organizing the “Feed the Mind Campaign” during the April Alaska Standards Based Assessments (SBA’s) testing at elementary, middle and high schools in Juneau. ANS/ANB Camps 70 each contributed $500 to begin the campaign and raised enough contributions from the following businesses to

provide nutritional snacks and water to EVERY student who was testing! Thank you T & H Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska employees, Catrina and Duff Mitchell, Marietta Hopkins, Jackie Dailey, Fred Meyer, Carrs/Safeway, Sealaska Corporation, ANS Camp 70, ANB Camp 70, Juneau Democratic Party, and SEARHC. Special appreciation goes out to the ANS and ANB Camp 70 members who coordinated the logistics of this big project. Having nutritious snacks available during test week is very important in supporting student achievement.

-Angie Lunda, Principal

Important Public Health Message For Parents Regarding Pertussis

Several Juneau School District students have contracted Pertussis, also known as whooping cough. Pertussis is a contagious bacterial infection characterized by a cough.

State of Alaska Public Health officials have informed us that if your child has been vaccinated for Pertussis within the last eight years and is up-to-date on their vaccination regimen, the vaccine provides a high level of  protection from the disease. If you or others in your home have not been immunized or your immunizations are not up-to-date, please see your health care provider about receiving an immunization. Pertussis vaccines are available for children up to age 7, and persons 11 to 64 years of age.

Public Health officials have asked us to pass on the following precautions to avoid any potential further spread of the infection in our community:

If your child has a cough, see your health care provider immediately. You should inform them that your child might have been exposed to Pertussis.

If advised to do so by your health care provider to treat symptoms, you must follow the complete treatment which includes the following:

1. A booster of the Pertussis vaccine, if appropriate.
2. An antibiotic prescription from your physician which must be taken completely, according to physician directions.
3. Remaining home (and away from school or other activities) for a full five days from the start of treatment.

It is extremely important to follow these Public Health directions in order to prevent any further spread of this infection. Please feel free to contact the nurse at your child’s school if you have any further questions.
