The deadline for pee wee baseball / softball / t-ball sign ups has been extended until Friday Feb. 26th. Forms were sent home to GPS students in their folders. Forms at CMS can be picked up outside of Coach K's classroom.
Bus #4 will run this afternoon. Until further notice it will be running its “flood route” due to high water in the bottoms. That route gets our Kansas Rd students home around 20 minutes earlier. Vaden students will be bussed separately through Curtis.
Our physical education / athletics classes are starting their unit on softball. A lot of our athletes are in need of a glove. If anyone has a used glove they have out grown or no longer need we would love to put it to good use. Please contact Coach K or Coach Beth Jackson.
Update on bus routes; Bus 3 WILL be able to run its full route in the morning. Only bus 4 will not. Thank you for your patience as we work to get our students back to school safely.
The Gurdon School District will be open for ONSITE instruction tomorrow, Tuesday, February 23rd. The following bus routes are still not clear enough for buses: Bus #4 Deer Bus to Kansas Road/Vaden/Red Springs and Bus #3 Bull Bus to Hendrix Road and Melugin Road. If you are unable to bring your students to school due to one of these buses not coming to your house on these routes, they can work virtually and not be counted absent. If you can get them to school safely, please do so. Safety is still our top priority. We are looking forward to seeing all of our Go-Devil family back at school tomorrow! #BeGreat
Virtual Day Instructions for Monday, February 22nd -

Directions will be given in a separate post shortly. We really miss our students and want to get everyone back onsite, but we will never put that desire over our students' and staff's safety. Hopefully, warmer temps and sunshine tomorrow will help clear our roads. Stay Safe and Be Great!

Teachers will be available for questions/support by email each day from 8-3. Thank you! Stay safe and warm!

Gurdon School District is using a new alert system that sends out text messages and or phone calls to the contact numbers we have for our students. A TEST message/call was made a few minutes ago. If you did NOT receive this text and/or call and have a student in our school district, please contact your school office to make sure we have accurate contact information for you. This system will be used for messages regarding school closures and other important messages / reminders. Thank you.
CMS Principal, Amanda Jones, was one of several Gurdon staff to receive her 2nd Covid vaccine today. More will follow over the next few weeks. Thank you again to Baptist Hospital for making sure our educators are vaccinated!
Parent-Teacher Conferences are this Week!
You should be getting communication from your child's school regarding the PTC schedule this week for Thursday from 3 - 7 p.m. We will be in school on Thursday and Friday, with early dismissal on Thursday at 2:30 due to PTC. Friday was originally a day off on our calendar, but had to be added back due to the postponement of the August school start date by one week. We will have Virtual Wednesday this week, as usual.
Also, please remember that no Valentine's Day deliveries to students will be accepted at the schools. Please enjoy the holiday and celebrate together at home this weekend. Our local businesses have some great items for home delivery or pick-up. Please give them your business!
