Dear Gesu Families, 

The warm weather sure hit us this week!  To assist students with warmer temperatures, we begin and end each year with summer uniform options.  These options extend into dress-down days as well.  But we are asking for your assistance!  Below, you will see the link to the dress code. Please make sure your child’s attire follows the dress code.  We have a variety of used uniforms for sale, should it become apparent that your child has had a growth spurt since September. 

Over the course of the last two weeks, students have received verbal or written warnings regarding dress code infractions.  A student out of dress code will need to call a parent to bring up a change of clothing. Dress code expectations include dress-down days and field day.   

DRESS CODE

Thank you for your continued support. 

AMDG,

Mrs Regan Kazel

Principal 

1:30 PM Early Dismissal

Tomorrow, Thursday May 21 is an early dismissal.

School Classroom Supply Kits

This year, Gesu is partnering with a new company called Impacks to provide our school with back to school classroom supply kits.  You can order a school supply kit for a limited time with the majority of supplies your student will need for the upcoming school year.  Unlike in years past, these kits are customizable allowing items to be deleted or added to each child's kit.

  1. Go here before July 15 and select your child’s upcoming grade: Here's a link to the school landing page.

  2. Each kit includes everything required, with the exception of a few things. Please be sure to read any parent notes or items requested but not included in the kit at the bottom of the list. Prices are comparable to Target, and cheaper than Amazon.

  3. Check out using a credit/debit card.

  4. Consider adding a donation at checkout. Impacks will match the first $5, and all funds will go to supporting Gesu!

  5. The supplies will be shipped directly to Gesu Catholic School and delivered to your child's homeroom in time for Student Orientation on Tuesday, August 25.  


Be sure to purchase your supply kit before the deadline of July 15. Let us know if you have any questions!

News From the School Nurse

Medication Pickup

If your child has medication in the clinic, please make arrangements with the school nurse to pick the items up before June 4. The school nurse can be reached at x119 or via email at: ddelmoro@gesu.com.   Medication cannot be stored in the school’s clinic during the summer break. All medication that is not picked up by June 4, will be considered unclaimed and will be disposed of according to the State of Ohio and local drug task force guidelines.

Attention Parents of Incoming 7th grade students:

All students entering 7th grade are required to have the Tdap booster vaccine and one dose of the Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) prior to entry. Both of these vaccinations must be administered on or after the 10th birthday. Students who do not provide written documentation of these immunizations or an Ohio exemption form (see school website for form) within 14 days from the start of the school year are subject to exclusion from school until this documentation is provided (ORC 3313.671). Please provide a copy of the vaccine record from your child’s medical provider to the school nurse at: ddelmoro@gesu.com.

Advertising/Sponsorship Opportunity
Gesu student agendas/Wednesday folders are used daily/weekly for communication between the classroom and home.  Sponsorship is needed so that these teaching tools can be offered at no cost to our students.  For any parents or families who are professionals or have their own business and are interested in placing an advertisement where families will see your message daily, please contact Carolyn Mack at carmack21@gmail.com no later than May 29, 2026.  A big thank you to all the sponsors from this 2025-2026 school year.
