Enjoy your New Years celebrations with your family and friends! If you are out and about tonight, please be extra careful on the roads!
Merry Christmas!
~ from our Tiger family to yours!
Tiger Family,
We wanted to let you know that a Fed Ex truck has hit one of our football buses that was traveling to the football playoff game. EVERY STUDENT IS SAFE, AND NOT HURT. Our administration is working hard to divide the students and place them on the other two buses. Please don’t call or text the coaches or administration team. They are putting all efforts into taking care of the students. The charter bus driver is the only person injured in the accident, who we will definitely keep in our prayers. She has been transported to the hospital.
Update: All students have been placed on other buses and are on the way to Abilene. The charter bus company will have another bus sent to Abilene to bring the kids home.
Coaches have moved the departure time... So, meet us in the north parking lot with your signs and cheering voices to send the football team off to Abilene at 11:00 AM (Today, December 9th)!
Don't forget that tomorrow, December 9th, Gunter ISD will release early so our teachers, students, and community members can travel to the football playoff game in Abilene. Drive safe!
-GES dismisses at 12:05 PM/GMS & GHS dismiss at 12:30 PM.
Carline will follow afterward.
Elementary and Middle School Picture Retake Day will be January 18th, 2023. More information will be distributed as the day gets closer.
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!
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.
