Cowan Road Elementary School

Tomorrow, Friday, January 10, 2025, will be a virtual at-home learning day for all GSCS students. No students or staff will report to school due to the threat of winter weather which could create delays that would disrupt normal school operations. Students will have their Chromebooks at home to complete assignments in Canvas. Due to the current winter storm watch and the forecast of potential snow and ice, all GSCS schools and offices will be closed on Friday, January 10, to prioritize the safety of our students, staff and community. All after-school events and activities are also canceled. Read a letter from GSCS Superintendent Dr. Keith L. Simmons at https://5il.co/34jyf.
