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!

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
