Gentry Public Schools
Ensuring all Students Connect, Learn, and Succeed
💻 The People Behind the Technology
Today is IT Professionals Day, and it gives us a great opportunity to recognize three people who do a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes at Gentry Public Schools.
Klae Beyers, Director of Technology; Jason Philpott and Brittany Thompson, Computer Technicians; are the people our district relies on to keep technology moving, and there is a lot more to that job than simply fixing a computer when something goes wrong.
During the last school year alone, our Technology Team:
💻 Repaired 1,290 student Chromebooks
🛠️ Completed 1,000 technology work orders submitted by district staff
📱 Managed and supported more than 2,000 technology devices across the district
And those numbers only tell part of the story.
Every day, Klae, Jason and Brittany are troubleshooting classroom technology, maintaining devices, supporting teachers and staff, managing systems, solving unexpected problems and helping make sure our schools have the technology they need to keep students learning.
A lot of their best work happens when nobody notices because everything is working.
And then there's the other side of the job: When something isn't working and a teacher, student or staff member needs help right now. That's when this team goes to work.
So today, we want to say a very simple thank you to:
Klae Beyers
Jason Philpott
Brittany Thompson
Thank you for your patience, problem-solving, hard work and willingness to jump in and help. Your work may happen mostly behind the scenes, but its impact reaches every classroom, every school and so many people across Gentry Public Schools.
We appreciate you — and we're glad you're part of the Pioneer team!
Happy IT Professionals Day! 💻❤️🤍

A Gentry tradition worth painting about! 🖌️
There’s not much more colorful than the Gentry High School parking lot when our students get their hands on their parking spots!
For many of our students, painting their spot has become a family affair with parents, siblings, friends and family pitching in to help create something that’s uniquely theirs.
Some spots are bold. Some are funny. Some are full of Pioneer pride. And some clearly took a LOT of paint.
But every one of them tells a little story about the student who parks there.
It’s one of those simple traditions that makes high school feel like high school: A little creativity, a lot of school spirit, and plenty of memories made along the way.
❤️🤍 We love seeing our Pioneers put their own stamp on Gentry High School!

❤️ ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
The most important reason for good attendance is simple: students learn best when they are at school. Being in class each day means more time with teachers, more opportunities to learn, and fewer gaps to make up later.
BUT DID YOU KNOW? Attendance also matters to your child’s school in a couple of other important ways!
🏫 School Letter Grades: Student attendance is one of the factors considered in school accountability and letter grades.
💰 School Funding: Student attendance can also impact district funding through Average Daily Membership (ADM).
Of course, we know absences happen! Illness, appointments, and other circumstances come up. When they do, please help us keep your student’s attendance record accurate.
If your child visits a doctor, please send the school a doctor’s note so we can properly document the absence. Not every absence requires a doctor’s visit, though! Families also have a limited number of parent notes that may be used each semester. If you don’t have a doctor’s note, contact your child’s school and ask about using a parent note if one is available.
📱 GRADES 6–12: Don’t forget about Home Access Center (HAC)! Families can use HAC to check attendance and grades. If you also have a younger student, you may see their profile in HAC, but information will not appear because HAC is only used for grades 6–12.
Need help with HAC? Instructions are available on our website. Just use the search button, ask our AI Chat Bot for help, or use the link in the comments of this post.
At the end of the day, the biggest reason attendance matters is learning. We want our students here because being at school gives them the best opportunity to learn and succeed. Strong attendance also supports our schools, so every day a student can be here matters!
Be here when you can, communicate with us when you can’t, and let us know when we can help! ❤️

From Gentry, our thoughts and prayers are with the Jay Bulldog player who was injured. We are hoping for a full and speedy recovery. ❤️🙏

🐔 BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN GENTRY FFA! 🌱
There is a lot to celebrate when it comes to the students, experiences and opportunities happening through Gentry’s FFA program!
⭐⭐⭐ For the first time ever, Gentry FFA has earned a National 3-Star Rating for its Program of Activities!
This is a tremendous accomplishment that recognizes the work our FFA chapter is doing to live out the mission of agricultural education. To earn a National 3-Star Rating, a chapter must complete a comprehensive application documenting its activities, involvement and impact throughout the year.
The National Chapter Award Program recognizes FFA chapters that actively implement the mission and strategies of FFA through a Program of Activities centered around three important areas:
🌟 Growing Leaders — developing leadership, personal growth and responsibility
🤝 Building Communities — serving and strengthening the communities around us
🚜 Strengthening Agriculture — developing knowledge, skills and experiences connected to agriculture and agricultural careers
Gentry FFA’s students are doing all three — and this national recognition is a reflection of the hard work of our students and agricultural education staff.
And what better way to see that work in action than through the recent FFA Pullet Chain Show! 🐔🏆
Nine Gentry FFA students entered their pullets in the show, and our students had an outstanding day! Several students earned 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons, with some of their pullets even beginning to lay eggs!
Congratulations to:
🏆 Gus Franzen — Reserve Champion FFA Pen
🥉 Tommy Holland — 3rd Overall FFA Pen
🥇 Trinity Jacks — FFA Showmanship Champion
🥈 Presley Holland — 2nd Place FFA Showmanship
But the ribbons are only part of the story.
Through their Pullet Chain projects, students have spent the year learning about animal care, responsibility, agriculture, record keeping and the commitment it takes to raise and show a project. They’ve gained experiences that simply can’t be replicated in a traditional classroom.
That’s what makes opportunities like these so important. FFA isn’t just about agriculture ; it’s about growing students into confident, capable young people who are prepared for leadership, careers and life.
Our students learned a lot this year, and many are already planning to participate again next year. For students interested in joining the Pullet Chain next year, watch for an announcement in February or March.
Congratulations to all of our Gentry FFA students and advisors on an incredible year. We are proud of the way you are Growing Leaders, Building Communities and Strengthening Agriculture! 🌱💚

🧮 Math is better when you can talk it out!
Fifth grade teacher Jennifer Hinterthuer gave her students a little different way to practice math yesterday, and it got them doing something incredibly valuable: Talking about their thinking.
Students used their whiteboards to work through a three-digit-by-three-digit multiplication problem with a partner. They compared answers, talked through their strategies, identified mistakes and made corrections before placing their completed work on their practice page.
Sometimes, hearing a concept explained by a classmate can make something “click” in a way that it hasn’t before. By explaining their thinking to someone else, students are also strengthening their own understanding. 💡
And there’s a bigger lesson happening here. A strong math foundation in the intermediate grades matters. Skills like multiplication, place value, estimation and problem-solving become building blocks for the more advanced math students will encounter in middle school, high school and beyond. When students develop both computational skills and the ability to explain how they arrived at an answer, they are building confidence that carries forward.
Yesterday’s lesson wasn’t just about getting the right answer — it was about understanding the process, learning from mistakes and learning from one another.
Great things are happening in fifth grade! 👏📚

Hello, Gentry families. ❤️🤍
Thank you for your support and understanding as we responded to a potential threat involving our schools this morning.
We know mornings like this can be unsettling for parents and caregivers. We want to share what happened, why we responded the way we did, and hopefully answer some of the questions you may have heard throughout the day.
This morning, we received information from another school district that a former Gentry student, who no longer lives near Gentry, had been communicating online with a student from that district and made a threat toward Gentry. That student did exactly what we hope any student would do -- she reported the conversation to her School Resource Officer, who then contacted us.
From there:
• Out of an abundance of caution, we immediately secured our schools from entry or exit. The Gentry Police Department’s response was immediate, and our first priority was making sure our students and staff were safe.
• The Gentry Police Department, our School Resource Officers, Dr. Broyles, Jason Barrett, who leads our district’s safety operations, our building principals and other key district leaders immediately began working through our safety procedures and assisting with the investigation.
• We communicated with our families and caregivers through our official communication channels and continued providing updates as information was verified and became available.
• Law enforcement located the individual hundreds of miles away from Gentry and detained them. Following further investigation, law enforcement determined there was no credible threat to our students or schools, gave us the all clear, and our school day continued as normal.
During a school safety situation, we don't use social media as our primary communication channel. Our families should be able to know that when they receive a text or email from Gentry Public Schools, the information comes directly from us and reflects what we know to be true at that point in time.
That doesn't mean we don't communicate. It means we communicate responsibly and factually.
We are incredibly proud of our School Resource Officers who serve through the Gentry Police Department, our Commissioned School Security Officer program, our district safety leadership and all of the people who play a role in keeping our students safe every day.
Most importantly, we want our families to know this: When information comes to us that could potentially involve the safety of our students, we take it seriously. We act. We investigate. We work closely with law enforcement. And we communicate with our families as information is verified.
Thank you again for caring so deeply about your kids and our School District. We know that questions and concerns come from a place of wanting your children to be safe, and we share that priority completely.
If you'd like to learn more about the many ways Gentry Public Schools works to keep students safe, we've put together information on our School Safety page:
https://www.gentrypioneers.com/page/school-safety
And as always, if you have a question or concern, please reach out directly to your child's school . We believe direct information is always the best information, and we're always happy to help.
Thank you for trusting us with your children.
