Morning temperatures will be cold, so be sure to dress students warmly and limit their time outside. Parents may use the transportation app to track their student's bus (using their student ID to login - same as computer and lunch number). Visit www.gscs.org/page/transportation to download the "My Ride K-12 App".

All GSCS athletic and extracurricular activities for this weekend, Jan. 31- Feb. 1, are cancelled due to the threat of potential winter weather.

January is mentorship month. GSCS recognized our amazing mentors at the recent board of education meeting. Thank you mentors! Your service and influence are so very important.

GSCS continues to work closely with Spalding County EMA to monitor the weather conditions. The latest forecast indicates that ice accumulation is possible in Griffin-Spalding County. Out of an abundance of caution, no staff or students should report to school/work on Monday, January 26. A decision regarding Tuesday will be made on Monday. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please use caution and stay safe.

GSCS is working closely with Spalding County EMA and weather services to monitor conditions related to a weather system that is expected to bring cold temperatures, precipitation and possible ice to our area over the weekend. We will continue to monitor this situation and will provide any updates regarding school operations for Monday via our parent communication system (phone message, text, e-mail, app), social media outlets and the district website at www.gscs.org. Thank you, stay weather aware and safe.
