Friday, January 10, 2025, will be a Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students in GCPS.

This decision was made in an abundance of caution because rain, snow, and freezing temperatures are forecasted for Friday morning through Saturday morning.

If the forecasted storm causes widespread power outages in our county or if Governor Brian Kemp declares a state of emergency, our status on Friday may change to ‘all schools and offices closed.’

We will send an additional notification to families and staff through ParentSquare as needed.

Important information for GCPS families:

• Please note that this means there are no sports, events, activities, or meal deliveries on 1/10.
• For the Digital Learning Day on January 10, teachers will communicate the specific expectations for completing and submitting activities and work.
• Any students who are unable to participate should work directly with their teachers on alternative activities and assignments.
• Students have their district-issued devices at home for this DLD.
• Look for additional directions and information sent directly from teachers.

We recognize school closures and schedule changes disrupt family schedules. In emergency situations, such as snow and icy weather conditions, the top priority is the safety of students and staff. Visit the GCPS website to learn more about our inclement weather decision-making process, communication protocols, or additional information about closures and delays.
