Dear GSCS,
School operations will be as normal tomorrow, January 17. All staff and students report at regular times. Wear layers as it will be very cold. Use your Traversa Ride 360 app (free) to track your bus. Student numbers are used for both the app login AND password.
Griffin -Spalding County Schools are open for regularly scheduled school hours for all staff and students today (Tuesday, January 16, 2024).
All GSCS schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 15, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Greetings Griffin-Spalding County Schools Stakeholders,
The Griffin-Spalding County School System will be closed tomorrow, Friday, January 12, 2024, due to the impending severe weather coming to our area. Our top priority is the safety of our students and staff. Tomorrow’s weather prediction for our area is at a risk level 3, which is an enhanced risk. All activities are considered canceled, this includes athletic events that were to take place, locally or out of town. No employee or student will need to report to a GSCS facility.
The decision to cancel all school system operations is informed by several factors, including student transportation, operations & logistics, and staffing. Additionally, we are mindful of our community’s sensitivity to severe weather, particularly considering last year’s tornado event. Again, all GSCS operations are closed for tomorrow, Friday, January 12, 2024. We expect to return to normal operations on Tuesday, January 16th. If you have not already, please download the free GSCS app (via the Apple store or Google Play store) to stay up to date with information from the school system and your student’s school(s). Thank you and please be weather aware during this time.
Dear GSCS,
Our most recent update from National Weather Service, just moments ago, confirmed that our window of greatest threat prevents us from operating morning transportation as normal or delaying our start time. There is a high likelihood of rain and wind (with strong gusts). The potential wind gusts and possible flooding in low areas during morning bus transportation time and the risks involved with students trying to catch the bus in rainy conditions, has led GSCS to make the decision to cancel school tomorrow out of an abundance of caution. No students should attend school tomorrow.
GSCS School is canceled tomorrow.
12 month employees should report at 10 a.m. and all other employees will remain home.
Stay safe.
Thank you.
Dear GSCS,
We are closely monitoring the forecast for tomorrow morning. Severe weather is unlikely, however we expect significant early morning rainfall and high winds that could cause trees to fall. We will continue to work with EMS and National Weather Service this evening and provide any decision regarding tomorrow's operations by 9:30 p.m. As of this moment the plan is for tomorrow's school operations to continue as usual but please monitor your GSCS APP, social media, text messages or e-mail tonight.
Thank You
Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing staff on January 3 and students on January 8!
