We are looking forward to our football scrimmage this Friday and we are ready to welcome you back to Tiger Stadium! As you know, with our huge following, we needed to expand our seating capacity, and that expansion is almost done. We appreciate your patience as we complete the project.
What you NEED TO KNOW for the scrimmage this Friday (August 12th)…
Stadium seating will be available, but only the ramp on the south side will be open for use.

This morning Gunter Middle School and Gunter High School students were placed in a "Hold" which is the first step in our emergency plan. This is a precautionary measure taken when there is a minor issue that needs attention.
We had a minor discipline issue taking place between the two campuses in a high traffic area. Campus administrators thought it best to keep all students in place until they could attend to the situation. This was a cautionary step to make sure all students were safe. Once the situation was resolved, students were released to their next class.
We notified parents through email and voice call. If you are a parent of a student at GISD, and did not receive the call, please update your information in Parent Portal.
Parents,
We will always error on the side of safety to the fullest as we work through issues in real time. Any time you try to communicate to a campus of 850 staff and students, during a passing period with large numbers transitioning between buildings, that space is needed to resolve an issue, there is going to be anxiety and concern due to the unknown.
Again, we will not take anything for granted or take chances until we have full control or understanding of what measures we need to take to ensure safety.
Thank you for all you do to support our schools. We are blessed in Gunter Texas. Please enjoy your weekend.
Parents: We are hearing that many of you are experiencing issues with the registration process. Some are able to register and some are not. We are trying to figure out where the glitch is. Stay tuned for more information.
Thank you!
Two things:
- Last STAAR exams for 6,7,8 today: make sure they bring their Chromebook chargers
- Water, Water, Water…the financial support from our community towards Special Olympics has been amazing. If you didn’t get a chance to be a part, consider dropping off a pack or two of water bottles to GMS. We are stockpiling for the event.
Have a wonderful Tuesday 👍💯🐅
