Snowmen, snowball fights, snow forts, snow angels, tractors pulling "sleds"... We saw all the fun you had on our two snow days, and we loved the happy faces!
Here's one more thing to make that smile even bigger... we recalculated our minutes and realized that we do not have to make up Friday's snow day. We have enough minutes banked in our calendar to cover that day and will not have to come to school on February 14th.
The snow will continue to fall off and on all night long. With the freezing temperatures continuing throughout the night, the roads will be too hazardous for our students, faculty, and buses to drive on. Therefore, Gunter ISD will be closed, tomorrow, January 10th.
* Important: The closure today (Thursday, January 9th) was our final "extra day" allotted in our calendar for times such as these. We will have to make up tomorrow's cancellation to stay in compliance with the state. That said, Friday, February 14th is now a regular school day. Please make the appropriate corrections to your calendar.
Due to the impending "blustery forecast" for our area, Gunter ISD will not have school on Thursday, January 9th.
Safety is a big concern during winter weather events, and we would rather not have our students and teachers driving on slippery roads. Stay warm and we will keep watching the roads to determine our action for Friday.
Winter break is winding down and we are excited to see you back in the halls of your campus!
- Teachers/Staff return Tuesday, January 7th.
- Students return Wednesday, January 8th
Happy New Year!

Tiger Nation,
The football team has advanced to the State Semi-Final Round of the playoffs, and we are so excited and proud of their success.
The game is set for Friday, December 13th at 4:00 PM at Abilene Christian University. With the game set for 4 PM in Abilene, we will be canceling school to give all of our fans plenty of time to travel.
Why 4 PM? ACU has graduation at 6 PM and they need to manage the traffic flow for both events.
We would love to see a sea of blue at Wildcat Stadium!
