Due to the possibility of hazardous travel conditions associated with the potential for wintry weather this weekend, Georgetown County School District will implement an eLearning day on Monday, February 2, 2026. All extracurricular activities, including athletics and other events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday (January 31 and February 1), are canceled, and those scheduled for Monday, February 2, 2026, will be postponed.
All schools and district offices will be closed for in-person operations. The District will operate on an eLearning schedule for students and staff. Chromebooks are being sent home today with students in grades 3–12. Learning packets are being sent home with students in PK–2nd grade. Assignments must be submitted within three (3) days of our return to school in order for students to be counted present for the eLearning day. School staff will provide specific directions to students regarding eLearning expectations.
The District will provide another update no later than 3:00 p.m. on Monday, February 2, regarding any potential changes to the school schedule for Tuesday.
For updates, families and staff should monitor the District website, GCSD’s Facebook page, and local media outlets. We encourage everyone to enjoy the wintry weather while also remaining safe.

Update................
MES Parents,
Attendance is a key factor in student achievement. Any absence represents an educational loss to the student.
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to explain the reason for the student’s absence upon the student’s return to school by sending a note within (3) days of the absence. Parent notes are only allowed for up to 10 absences per school year.
They can also be emailed or faxed to:
