GCPS Monitoring Weather Conditions: Stay Safe and Informed
Gwinnett County Public Schools is closely monitoring weather conditions forecasted for this weekend. The safety of students and staff is our highest priority. Decisions related to inclement weather are guided by district procedures, multiple safety data sources, and Board policy.
As of Thursday, January 22:
- All school events and facility usage for Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, January 25 are cancelled. No changes or cancellations to school or events on Friday, January 23.
- At this time, no changes have been made to the school schedule for Monday, January 26. Decisions will be communicated as early as possible if conditions warrant a change.
If bad weather causes school to be cancelled or dismissed early, public announcements will be made on GCPS TV, on the school system’s website (www.gcpsk12.org), on Facebook and Instagram, through ParentSquare, and via metro-Atlanta news stations. Full-day cancellations usually are announced by 6 a.m., and sooner when possible. Learn more about how the decision is made about school closing.
Do you have the ParentSquare app?
Don't miss out on emergency messages or important alerts! GCPS staff and families have access to the ParentSquare app! Download it and adjust the settings for your use. Please visit the ParentSquare page on the district website to learn more. The app is a great way to stay informed when inclement weather results in changes to the school schedule.
