SwampBites October 6, 2024

The PSAT test is on Thursday, October 10th for all 8th graders and AVID students in 7th grade.

Students will watch this video this week to help them be prepared. We encourage parents to watch as well

Congratulations Coach Cervantes! Dallas Cowboys and Reliant Energy Class Act Teacher of the Month!!

This City of Arlington has asked for our help. Some of our parents park on the city streets around the campus. The City of Arlington reminds us that we should not park in front of fire hydrants or in front of stop signs. This can be a safety concern for drivers and pedestrians. There are several areas where this is true, but be especially mindful of the intersection at Fielder and Paisley since so many students are walking home that way.

Orders have been extended to October 7th!

TRUNK-OR-TREAT

To promote AISD and AVID's mission for college and career awareness, Gunn staff participates in "College Shirt Fridays." Students are encouraged to join in and represent their favorite colleges on Fridays as well. Check out the staff colleges represented so far!

ATHLETICS

In order to compete, athletes must pass all classes with a 70 or higher each six weeks.

Students and parents may attend athletic events on campus. All visitors must have a ticket to attend athletic games in AISD. Students must have an adult accompanying them who take responsibility for them. Once we have student IDs, those will also be required. JH athletic event Adult tickets are $2 plus a $1 fee. JH athletic event Student tickets are $1 plus a $1 fee.

All 7th grade games will begin approximately at 5:45PM with the B Team playing at approximately 6:45PM.
All 8th grade games will begin approximately at 5:45PM with the B Team playing at approximately 6:45PM.

If you have any questions, please contact our Athletic Coordinator, Mr. Richard Joyner at rjoyner1@aisd.net.
