The storm that passed through the county left behind downed trees and high standing water in some low-lying areas. Due to these conditions, GCPS will be on a one-hour delay tomorrow, Tuesday, October the 4th for all students and staff. With the one-hour delay, all students should be at school bus stops exactly one hour later than their normally scheduled time. Schools will be dismissed at their regularly scheduled times. We hope you all weathered the storm without issue. Thank you for working with us to get our students to school safely.
Due to impending inclement weather which will impact road and travel conditions, Gloucester County Public Schools will be closed on Monday, October 3rd, for all students and staff. Stay safe!
Due to impending inclement weather, all afterschool activities, events, athletic practices, games, and competitions are canceled for Friday, September 30.
In addition, all activities, events, athletic practices, games, and competitions scheduled for this weekend, are also canceled. Please continue to visit our social media pages and website for future updates.
