📸 Gentry Athletics Sideline Media Passes
As Gentry Athletics continues to grow and our programs receive more attention from local and regional media, we are implementing a simple sideline media credential process for home football games.
Sideline access will be reserved for approved media members and photographers covering Gentry Athletics for a legitimate media purpose. This is a common practice that helps us safely manage an increasingly busy sideline while protecting our student-athletes, coaches, officials, media members, and the overall game environment.
Media members and photographers interested in sideline access should apply through the Gentry Athletic Department. Contact information and the Media Pass Application can be found on the Gentry Athletics webpage linked in the comments. Credentials are limited based on available space and event needs, and all approved media are expected to follow Gentry Athletics and Arkansas Activities Association guidelines.
We appreciate the growing interest in our student-athletes and programs and look forward to continuing to share the great things happening in Gentry Athletics!

🚌 School Buses Are Back on the Road – Help Keep Our Students Safe!
As the new school year begins, thousands of Arkansas students will be riding school buses each day. Every stop matters, and every driver plays an important role in keeping our children safe.
When a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, Arkansas law requires all drivers to stop from both directions, even on most four-lane roads. Drivers must remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is retracted, and the bus begins moving again.
Please remember:
🛑 Never pass a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing.
đź“Ź Stop at least 30 feet from the bus.
🚸 Watch carefully for students crossing the street or walking near the roadway.
📵 Put your phone down and stay focused, especially in school zones.
These laws exist because a child's life depends on them. A few extra moments of patience can make all the difference in helping every student arrive safely at school and return home each afternoon.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our Pioneer students—and all Arkansas students—safe. ❤️🚌

đźš— Traffic Alert
As we kick off the new school year, we wanted to give families a friendly heads up that traffic is typically a little slower during the first week of school.
With hundreds of new students and families joining Gentry Public Schools this year, and as one of Arkansas' fastest growing school districts, many drivers will be learning our campuses and traffic patterns for the first time.
Please plan to leave a few minutes early, allow for a little extra travel time, and extend patience and grace to one another. This is a normal part of the first week, and traffic flow usually improves quickly as everyone settles into their routines.
You can also find campus traffic flow maps in our Back-to-School Guide to help make your arrival as smooth as possible. Thank you for helping us make the start of the school year safe and successful for everyone.
