Parents of 8th Grade Students: We will still be having our course selection meeting tonight (4/5) in the HS cafeteria at 6PM. We will have a 2nd session offered this Thursday night at 6PM for those who are unable to attend this evening.

Incoming 9th Grade Course Selection Meetings: 6:00pm on Tonight (Tuesday) and Thursday in the HS Commons. Both meetings will cover the same information so parents only need to attend one. Jacob Waggoner GHS Counselor 903-696-1302 jwaggoner@gunterisd.org

GMS Parents Please do not drop your students off at the HS. Bring them straight to GMS. **Boys Athletics can drop at the Fieldhouse** GHS off limits to middle school until we can determine what access we will have for electives. Thanks!

Good Morning! The HS took in quite a bit of water last night. Only 9th graders are attending in person in order to take the English EOC. GMS is dry and ready to go. Boys athletics will meet at the Fieldhouse/indoor per normal routine. All other students report to the MS. All classes will be held at GMS until we determine what parts of the high school are clear for use.

Gunter Tiger Families, Let’s help the Jacksboro Tigers get back on their feet. We want to replace the items that were lost in the tornado on Monday. Crayons, markers, large dry erase boards, dry erase markers, etc. The elementary classrooms were the only ones with interior damage. Think small kids. PE and outdoor stuff. Gift cards would be great. We can give them directly to teachers for classroom supplies. You may drop your items at the middle school and I will deliver them to Jacksboro. Thank you so much! Please text me with any questions. 214-796-6367 Kayla Verden
