Dear Gentry Families,
At the board meeting earlier this evening, the board voted to accept a proposal to amend the current 2024-2025 school calendar, making April 18 and May 23 regular school days to serve as two of our makeup days. The six (6) total makeup days for the 2024-2025 school year are now set for April 18, May 23, and May 27-May 30, 2025, which will help us avoid extending the school year into June.
Additionally, the board approved an amendment to the 2025-2026 school calendar, embedding five inclement weather makeup days during the school year. These days will be January 19, February 20, April 17, May 26, and May 27, 2026. Any additional makeup days, if needed, will begin on May 28, 2026. Updated calendars will be added to our website soon.
These changes were made to prioritize student instruction and based on feedback from staff. If you have any conflicts with this year’s amendments due to previously arranged plans, don’t worry—just let the building administration know, and we will offer some flexibility to accommodate the changes.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Gentry High School was recognized for outstanding achievement in math scores by our Alternative Learning Environment students. A few of the students made the trip to the State Capitol to receive this honor. We're proud of our students and staff!

Hello Gentry families,
As indicated in the original 2024-2025 calendar and confirmed by the survey results, makeup days will be held May 27-30 and June 2-3, 2025, with the 6th missed day being made up on June 3. Please note, attendance will count on these days, and instruction will be happening. It is important for students to attend and actively participate, as these are instructional days. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Please take a moment to read our March Newsletter. Thanks!

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday!
We're so glad to have students back to school this week! We'll have a busy week with several things rescheduled from last week. Here's a schedule for the week.
See you soon!
Reminder: School is already closed to students tomorrow for staff development. Admin and supervisors are communicating alternate staff plans due to weather. Parent-teacher conferences are rescheduled for Feb. 27, which will be an early release day.
With the cancelling of school yesterday, today, and tomorrow we need to let you know the times and dates of our missed CAP and Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Both events will take place on Thursday, February 27th. CAP conference appointments scheduled for this week will be planned for the same time next Thursday. We will have Parent-Teacher Conferences until 8:30pm that evening.
Please reach out to your student's Advisory teacher if your time from this week will not work next week for your CAP conference.
Stay warm!
Gentry Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, February 20, due to snow and hazardous conditions still affecting our roads. Please stay safe, and we will share any further updates as needed.
Gentry Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, February 19, due to inclement weather. Please stay safe and warm!
Dear Families,
School will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, February 18, due to the strong likelihood of winter weather moving into the area. While forecasts differ on whether the weather will arrive early or later in the morning, we have decided to make this call now to give families time to plan, rather than waiting and potentially causing disruption with a last-minute decision during the day.
We have coordinated with neighboring schools to ensure consistency across the area. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to keep everyone safe.
Please stay tuned for updates on whether other days this week may be affected.
Stay safe and warm!
Gentry Public Schools Administration
