We had an assembly today at GHS to discuss our new cell phone policy. Beginning on Monday, December 9th, cell phones will not be allowed to be out during school hours. This includes hallways and lunches. Please be aware of this change. Contact the office at 479-736-2667 or email your student if you need to get a message to them. This link will take you to the presentation from today: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fp3A6K2S-g1nwmJYnd5IinsIxvmUopFQ/view?usp=sharing

Over the last several weeks, students and staff have donated items to fill shoeboxes for children around the world through the organization Operation Christmas Child. As a culminating event, organizers, Ms. Jackson and Mrs. Blanchard hosted a packing party in the GHS Library to ready the boxes for delivery. The group packed 50 shoeboxes! First Baptist Church will send them for us! Thank you everyone for participating in this worthy cause! Thank you to Pat Barnes for being our point of contact! At Gentry, we ensure all students connect, learn, and succeed, and are honored to share our mission with children outside our local community.
GHS will have an early release of 1:30 tomorrow, 11/22/24, and will follow the same schedule as last week.
Tomorrow, our students will have an opportunity to see our school play entitled "The Day the Internet Died." Cost for attendance is $2 and will be turned into their 3rd period teacher.
Students did a great job testing today! We're proud of their effort! We want to remind you of a couple of things for tomorrow:
1. 9th and 10th graders - Bring your Chromebook fully charged. Bring your charger to school today.
2. 11th and 12th graders - Remember to have your verification form signed by your job shadow or college day to be counted a school business.
