SwampBites November 2, 2025

As colder weather arrives, we want to ensure our students stay safe each morning. When the temperature is below 40 degrees, we will open the building doors after zero hour begins to allow students to come inside. We encourage students to dress warmly for the season, but rest assured that we’ll make every effort to provide a warm and welcoming space on chilly mornings. Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our students safe and ready to learn!

Gunn Junior High PTA is excited to host Reflections this year! Reflections is a Texas PTA and National PTA program that encourages students to explore their creativity through the arts. This year’s theme invites Gators to share their unique voice through dance, film, literature, music, photography, and visual arts.

Due Date: Friday, November 7
