Dear Parents:
McGehee School District has been notified of multiple positive cases of COVID-19 within our district today. From these positives, several Probable Close Contacts (PCC) have been identified and quarantined. A PCC is anyone who may have been within 6 feet (with or without a mask) for 15 cumulative minutes or longer within a 24 hour period to a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.
All PCC have been identified and notified by our Point of Contact, Sara Williams, to quarantine immediately for 14 days from the last date of contact with the positive case. If you have not been contacted, then your child is not considered a PCC by the guidance of the Arkansas Department of Health.
Please understand that no identifiable information about the positive cases will be released. Confidentiality is a must. It is the law and we will maintain the integrity of upholding this.
As always if you have any questions or concerns or if you have a student who is symptomatic please contact Sara Williams, RN, Point of Contact at 870-222-5444.

McGehee High School Partners with the Arkansas Rural Health Partnership to Train Students in teen Mental Health First Aid
We’re thrilled to share that McGehee High School (MHS) is participating in the country’s expanded teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) pilot program in January 2020.
tMHFA is an in-person training designed for high school students to learn about mental illnesses and addictions to help them identify and respond to friends who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem. With this training, our high school students will be empowered to assist their friends when a mental health problem or crisis, such as suicidal thoughts, is apparent.
The course specifically teaches the important step of involving a responsible and trusted adult. As such, we are also training thirty of our school staff in Mental Health First Aid for Adults Working with Young People.
The National Council for Behavioral Health and Born This Way Foundation are piloting the course in over 35 high schools across the country, including MHS. After the pilot program is complete, the training course will be available to the public.
Thank you for your continued support of MHS and this community. We are excited to support a path toward greater awareness about mental health and increased capacity to respond to students with mental health problems.
