Tomorrow is the final day for drop-off. This effort benefits families in our local community.
A number of you seek opportunities to give anonymously.
You can always email our Coordinator of Family and Community Services Kristy Colvin kcolvin@gunterisd.org if you would like to privately assist a family in need during this holiday season.
Thank you for supporting our students and the families in this community as we share in the spirit of giving during this holiday season.
Don't forget! Thanksgiving Holiday Reminder --
Gunter ISD will be closed November 21-25 for Fall Break. Students will not have school during that week. Enjoy this time with your family and friends!
GMS Lunch is only $3! And it’s good! Ask the kids!
Parents,
I’m sending this on behalf of all the students that “bring” their lunch (they begged me to do this). Tomorrow is our annual Turkey FEAST. Our Food Service Department does it right! ALL THE TRIMMINGS. It’s a great time of food, fellowship, family for our staff and students. Send a “Lincoln” ($5) with your student tomorrow if they do not have a lunch account set up.
And a reminder - No school Thursday. Go support the Lady Tigers at State!
The Lady Tiger Volleyball team will depart from the band parking lot at 8:30 AM on Thursday, November 17th. Get up early, grab your sign and bring your cheering voice to send them off in Gunter Tiger fashion!
Don't forget Daylight Savings Time Ends on Sunday, November 6th. Turn your clocks back an hour and enjoy an extra hour in your weekend!
Gunter ISD administrators are keeping a close eye on the weather. If the weather is not safe to send the students and buses out at dismissal time, we will hold the students and the buses until it is safe.
If we decide to hold the students and buses at dismissal time, we will send an email via the district communication system as well as post to the website and social media platforms.
Safety is our number one concern; given the decision to wait out the storm or send our students and faculty into a dangerous situation, we will always choose the safer alternative.

Gunter Football Family:
We are moving our game with Blue Ridge on Friday to Thursday. There are multiple factors for this, but the main one for us is the forecast calls for thunderstorms on Friday and we want to stay away from delays or having to come back and finish a game on Saturday. We will play our first round playoff game on Thursday.
Wednesday
7th vs BR @ Home - 4:30
8th vs BR @ Home - 5:30 (10 mins after 7th)
JV Blue vs Decatur JV @ Home - 7:00 (10 mins after)
MS Parents,
It’s going to be very wet/muddy tonight at the stadium. Heavy rain could move back in. We are not going to be monitoring “play areas” with additional staff. Students are expected to stay in authorized areas. You are reasonable for your students.
Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe and warm this evening.

We are committed to safety and continuing the process of determining where we can be better.
Thank you - have a GreaT Thursday
