Special note about instrument Selection Day: We will do our best to keep things moving smoothly and on time, but delays can occur due to the number of students we will see that day. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

An adult must attend this meeting with the student, and all students taking band next year must meet with a Band Director to be placed on an instrument. If you have an unavoidable conflict with this date, please email ntalbot@gunterisd.org.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We’re looking forward to meeting you and making music together!

Sincerely your Directors,

Update regarding Winter Storm Days & Make-up Schedule

Gunter ISD Family,

Because we missed four days of school due to the winter storm, we needed a plan to make up that time.
The good news is that we only need to make up one day. Our School Board has submitted a waiver to the state for the other days, and we are waiting on approval.

Monday, March 23 will now be a regular school day for all students.

Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of Gunter ISD.

Sincerely,
Dr. Enos

We are pleased to announce the members of our School Board who will begin serving in the 2026–2027 school year.

After 21 years of selfless and dedicated service, Gary Harris will be stepping down from the Board. We are deeply grateful for his commitment, leadership, and the many contributions he has made to our district over the years. Please join us in thanking him for his extraordinary service.

The following candidates were unopposed and will begin serving our district in the upcoming school year:

Place 5: Robert Hough
Place 6: Kristie Nelson
Place 7: Jim Scano

Because these candidates were unopposed, there will not be a school board election this year.

We look forward to the continued leadership and service of our incoming board members as they support the success of our students, staff, and community.

IMPORTANT: Gunter ISD School Closure for Wednesday

Gunter ISD Families and Staff,

While we are seeing a slight relief from freezing temperatures today, the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. Due to lingering icy conditions that make travel unsafe, Gunter ISD will be closed on Wednesday, January 28th.

This closure includes:

All campus classes.

All extracurricular activities and athletic events.

All scheduled school meetings.

We will continue to monitor road conditions and provide further updates regarding Thursday via our standard communication channels. Please stay safe and warm!

Go Tigers!
