After School Activities Canceled-Gloucester County is under a winter storm warning from 7:00 PM on Friday to 1:00 PM on Saturday, with forecasts predicting 2 to 4 inches of snow. We expect to receive more updates from Wakefield, but the latest information indicates that precipitation will begin in our area between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM tomorrow. Given the timing of the storm and the forecast of below-freezing temperatures through mid-morning on Saturday, all after-school activities are canceled on Friday, January 10, 2025, and Saturday, January 11, 2025. There are no changes to the regular school schedule.
Good Afternoon,
We are pleased to announce that schools and offices are scheduled to open on time tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
To ensure the safety of our students and staff, the district’s Road Assessment Team will evaluate road conditions early tomorrow morning at 4:00 AM. Should any adjustments to school schedules be necessary, we will communicate them promptly in the morning.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to welcoming our teachers, staff, and students back as we continue to make 2025 a phenomenal year!
Sincerely,
Gloucester County Public Schools
