We would like to WELCOME these new employees to the TIGER FAMILY! We're so glad you're here!

STAFF SPOTLIGHT! Our Bus Drivers and Transportation Department Employees are as hard-working as they come! Thank you for always being there to safely transport our students where they need to go!

There are only 4 Early Release days in the 2023-2024 School Year. REMINDER: GPS no longer has Early Release every Monday. The Early Release dates are: Wednesday, November 1st Wednesday, December 6th Wednesday, February 7th Wednesday, April 3rd

Guardians, please check your email and text messages for invites to ROOMS. We know that not everyone has received one. Next week, we will begin contacting parents who have not accepted an invite and got into ROOMS with other ways they can get in. Thank you for your help and patience.

FYI FRIDAY! Fridays are for you to have a look into the events of the next week! Here is what's happening next week at GPS!

THROWBACK THURSDAY! The "Kitten" Elementary Yearbook of 1965 gives us this wonderful photo of Homer Long 1st Grade students showing what they have learned about the "numeral 4".

First Day VIBES!! We hope you all had a great First Day!

"ROOMS" INVITES ARE ON THEIR WAY! Email and Text invites are being sent out NOW to guardians of GPS students. If you do not get an invite, give it some time. Tomorrow we will start checking to make sure everyone who needs one gets it. Thank you for your patience!

ATTENTION! Please refrain from dropping off or picking up your student(s) at the East Entrance of the High School. The circle drive is reserved for handicapped pick-up and drop-off ONLY. Instead, please use the North Parking Lot for drop-off and pick-up. Thank you for your cooperation.

Start & End Times for All Schools are on the graphics below. Note that we only have 4 Early Release dates. You can find this information on the Website at https://www.guymontigers.com/page/calendars.
