Job Opening
In an effort to get students safely to school tomorrow, we have made some changes because some bus routes have areas that cannot be accessed in the morning. Buses will pick one hour late in the morning but, the following areas cannot be accessed so we cannot pick up in these locations:
Hwy 51 between Hwy 53 and Hwy 67 (Beirne loop).
Hwy 51 between the interstate and Okolona. (No Okolona pick up)
Sticky Rd (Hwy 182)
Dickerson Rd
Southfork Rd
Centerpoint Rd
Stevenson Rd
Lockie Rd
E Cherry, Taylor Dairy, Bowen Hill loop
Phillips Dr is keeping us from turning on to E Crayton. We will only run E Crayton from 10th to Main.
Linden St (Pine Ridge Apt. students will be picked up at the Kansas Rd intersection).
Clark St will pick up at the intersection of 10th and Clark.
Again, the routes that can run will be picking up one hour later.
We know this is not ideal and is not a perfect situation, but we want to have our doors open for any students who can get to school safely. Again, students who cannot get to school will NOT be penalized. The weather should cooperate tomorrow to allow full bus routes on Tuesday. We will be there tomorrow for however many students show up!
Gurdon Schools will be in session on Monday, February 2. We will have some changes to make sure we can return safely.

The side roads are still ice-covered, the main roads are still patchy, and the school parking lots are completely covered. After checking the roads and the campuses, we have determined that we cannot safely have students and staff return to campus this week. We will be closed on Thursday, January 29. We will resume classes on Monday, February 1, conditions permitting. We will announce makeup dates as they are determined.
The football / cheer banquet scheduled for Thursday has been postponed.
We will publish a new day / time at a later date.
I'm afraid the weather is not helping us quite enough today. We cannot safely get buses out on many of our routes. We will remain out for inclement weather on Wednesday, the 28th. Unless we see significant improvements on secondary roads tomorrow, there is a good chance that we will be out Thursday as well. That decision will be made tomorrow. In the meantime, please stay warm and safe, and we cannot wait to see you again!
Basketball schedule update:
The games scheduled for tonight will be moved to Monday February 2nd.
5:00 pm at home JG, SG , and SB against Ouachita.
The originally scheduled game for that day against Ouachita County Harmony Grove will not be played.
The sun is out, but the roads and surfaces are still icy. At this time, it is still not safe for students and staff to travel to school. We will not have school on Tuesday January 27. We will announce a makeup date later. Stay warm and do not get out if you do not have to.
Due to the current conditions and continued cold, we will not have school tomorrow (Monday, January 26). We will resume when conditions allow us to safely return. Please stay safe and warm!
Thank you to our GHS basketball sponsors!

2026 Go-Devil football schedule
Football / Cheer Banquet will be next Thursday Jan. 29th at 6:30 in the cafeteria.
With the possible winter weather coming late this week, we would like to remind everyone that we have a LOT of coats, hoodies and other clothing in our lost and found at GPS and CES. Please remind your student to pick up any clothing that has been left behind. Mrs. Boyce will have all lost and found laid out at both schools for students or parents to look through.
Also- if your student needs has clothing, hygiene supplies or other needs please fill out the attached form. The Sheriff's department has some new and nearly-new coats that have been donated, and we also have some at school. We will try our hardest to fill every request, but we cannot guarantee fulfilling every request. Requests will be filled first come-first served based on what sizes/etc. we have available and sent home with students Thursday.
