Hello, my name is Ange Gee and I am the Family Resource Coordinator for Chavez Elementary. I can be reached via email at gee_a@4j.lane.edu or by phone at 541-790-5332.

We are very excited about our Family Resource Center and all we will have to offer! Stay tuned and visit this page often!

If you have called the school office lately you may have noticed that I am no longer the School Secretary. We were fortunate to receive funding to staff a Family Resource Coordinator here at Chávez. Landing this job and being able to focus on families is my dream job!

As we talk about what our Family Resource Center can offer to families, I can’t help but think of the many resources, classes, and just the “safe space” I wish I would’ve had as a kid in public education. And as a parent, I think of the resources I could’ve used when my own sons were in school.

One of the big ones that stand out is the importance for us as parents to be involved in our child’s education. Parents make a huge difference in the educational success of their children. Sometimes we hear that a parent’s school experience wasn’t all that great, but trust me, times have changed. We are partners with you, we believe in the whole child, and we are here to help guide you. You are not alone!

We are making plans to offer more parent education and connection opportunities for the fall. If there is something that you would like to learn more about, please let me know. We want to make sure to offer classes that will be beneficial for families.

I look forward to sharing this space with you when we are able to have families back in the building.

I do hope you stop by and say hi!
