From GCSD: Due to forecasted winter weather conditions, all GCSD schools and facilities will be CLOSED on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. This decision, made in consultation with the National Weather Service and Georgetown County Emergency Management, is based on anticipated wintry precipitation and the potential for hazardous driving conditions. This will be a traditional school closure, so no eLearning assignments or learning packets will be provided. A make-up date for Wednesday’s closure will be announced at a later time. Additionally, all afterschool activities, including athletic competitions and practices, are canceled or postponed for Wednesday. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. A decision regarding GCSD’s operational status for Thursday will be announced on Wednesday. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
