Dear GCPS Families and Staff,
Our road assessment team has determined that several areas of Gloucester County are inaccessible this morning due to flooding. The king tides and nor’easter have exceeded predictions, resulting in higher-than-expected water levels across the county.
Because of these conditions, Gloucester County Public Schools will be closed today (Monday, October 13th).
Afternoon tides are expected to be higher than this morning, and our teams will continue to monitor reports and road conditions throughout the day.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we respond to these changing conditions.
Families, pack your bags for an around-the-world adventure that starts right in our school cafeterias! 🚋
From October 13-17, we're celebrating #NationalSchoolLunchWeek with the theme "Taste the World." Nutritious school meals are a labor of love, and when we all work together, they contribute to the health, well-being and academic success of our students.
Let's talk a bit about how it'll work. Next week, we've got an international theme that encourages kids to try out new flavors! We've made "passports" for our students, which they can pick up in their cafeteria. If they go through the lunch line and get their passport stamped each day, they can turn it in Friday to be entered in a prize drawing 🌎
We're excited to get cooking 🍳 See you at lunch, GCPS family!

WEATHER UPDATE – MONDAY MORNING (2-Hour Delay). The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.
Due to impending coastal flooding from the nor’easter, Gloucester County Public Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay Monday morning.
• Flood Warning: Water is expected to be over some roadways, particularly in low-lying areas.
• Safety Assessment: County and school division crews need additional time to assess road conditions and ensure safe travel for buses and staff.
• Weather Conditions: Persistent onshore winds may continue to cause minor to moderate tidal flooding through the morning.
We will continue to monitor weather and road conditions throughout the day and provide updates as needed.
Please allow extra travel time and avoid flooded areas whenever possible.
Stay safe!

Gloucester County Public Schools is proud to announce the grand ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly renovated Gloucester High School on Thursday, October 23, 2025.
The first ceremony will take place in the morning from 9:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This event will bring together School Board members, members of the Board of Supervisors, county administration and staff, state and federal officials representing Gloucester County, as well as leaders from Moseley Architects and Gresham Construction, whose partnership helped make the renovation possible.
The evening ceremony, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., will welcome families, students, alumni, residents, and community partners for a celebration open to all. Guests will be able to take part in self-guided and guided building tours, view Career and Technical Education and program displays, browse spirit gear and Booster Club tables, and explore a “before and after” renovation gallery. The evening will also include student music performances, remarks from the Superintendent, and light refreshments.
This day long celebration will both recognize the many people and partners who made the project a reality and provide the community with the opportunity to walk the halls of their high school, experiencing the improvements designed to serve current and future generations of students.

Dear GCPS Families,
This morning, updated flood models and new rainfall and river-gauge data have increased the projected risk of flooding in our area. To keep our students and staff safe, we are adjusting today’s dismissal schedule.
What Has Changed
• Forecasts now call for heavier rainfall across areas feeding into local creeks and rivers.
• River-gauge readings show rising water levels reaching thresholds for early flooding.
• The National Weather Service has issued updated flash-flood warnings for low-lying areas, particularly near bridges and roadways.
• Rain totals are expected to exceed earlier projections, with flooding risks arriving earlier in the day—during normal dismissal hours.
Adjusted Dismissal Times for Today
• Middle & High Schools: 12:15 PM
• Elementary Schools: 1:30 PM
What Families Should Do
• Please plan for earlier pickup times.
• Bus routes may be altered or delayed; check with your school or transportation coordinator.
• Walkers and parent pick-ups should avoid flood-prone routes.
• Continue to monitor GCPS communications (email, text alerts, website) for updates.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. The safety of our students, staff, and community remains our highest priority.
Sincerely,
Gloucester County Public Schools
