Good afternoon Gentry families and staff,
After closely monitoring conditions, Gentry Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 27.
District administrators drove roads on both Sunday and Monday, and due to extreme cold temperatures, many rural roads and bus routes remain not safely passable at this time.
Our maintenance crews are spending today working on school parking lots and sidewalks to prepare for a safe return as soon as conditions allow. We will continue to monitor road conditions and will communicate promptly if additional closures are necessary, so please stay tuned.
Monday, January 26 and Tuesday, January 27 are the first two inclement weather days missed this school year. In accordance with the district calendar, these days will be made up on Friday, February 20 and Friday, April 17. Additional inclement weather makeup days are also built into the school calendar should further winter weather occur.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
