FREE IS GOOD… Is your plan (or your child's plan) to attend college after high school? Would you like to earn up to 30 hours of free college tuition while in high school? Will you be a sophomore, junior or senior next school year? If you answered yes to these questions, why not go ahead and get a jump on your college education by Dual Enrolling in courses at the Griffin Region College & Career Academy with our college partners, Gordon State College or Southern Crescent Technical College. Students must be a Junior or Senior for the 24/25 School year to participate in Dual Enrollment. The GRCCA will be hosting registration events during the months of January and February. In addition to Dual Enrollment Opportunities, learn about our High School Career Programs. In order to participate in courses at the GRCCA you must attend a registration event. The deadline to attend an event is February 29, 2024. See the information flyer attached for more information about RSVP’ing for an event and course offerings or go to www.grcca.org.
Students must have a minimum of 2.0 to qualify for courses with Southern Crescent Technical College and a 3.0 for Gordon State College.
Greetings Griffin-Spalding County Schools Stakeholders,
The Griffin-Spalding County School System will be closed tomorrow, Friday, January 12, 2024, due to the impending severe weather coming to our area. Our top priority is the safety of our students and staff. Tomorrow’s weather prediction for our area is at a risk level 3, which is an enhanced risk. All activities are considered canceled, this includes athletic events that were to take place, locally or out of town. No employee or student will need to report to a GSCS facility.
The decision to cancel all school system operations is informed by several factors, including student transportation, operations & logistics, and staffing. Additionally, we are mindful of our community’s sensitivity to severe weather, particularly considering last year’s tornado event. Again, all GSCS operations are closed for tomorrow, Friday, January 12, 2024. We expect to return to normal operations on Tuesday, January 16th. If you have not already, please download the free GSCS app (via the Apple store or Google Play store) to stay up to date with information from the school system and your student’s school(s). Thank you and please be weather aware during this time.
Dear GSCS,
Our most recent update from National Weather Service, just moments ago, confirmed that our window of greatest threat prevents us from operating morning transportation as normal or delaying our start time. There is a high likelihood of rain and wind (with strong gusts). The potential wind gusts and possible flooding in low areas during morning bus transportation time and the risks involved with students trying to catch the bus in rainy conditions, has led GSCS to make the decision to cancel school tomorrow out of an abundance of caution. No students should attend school tomorrow.
GSCS School is canceled tomorrow.
12 month employees should report at 10 a.m. and all other employees will remain home.
Stay safe.
Thank you.
Dear GSCS,
We are closely monitoring the forecast for tomorrow morning. Severe weather is unlikely, however we expect significant early morning rainfall and high winds that could cause trees to fall. We will continue to work with EMS and National Weather Service this evening and provide any decision regarding tomorrow's operations by 9:30 p.m. As of this moment the plan is for tomorrow's school operations to continue as usual but please monitor your GSCS APP, social media, text messages or e-mail tonight.
Thank You
Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing staff on January 3 and students on January 8!
