GCPS Cancels Weekend Activities and Implements Digital Learning Days Due to Winter Weather

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has announced the cancellation of all weekend activities scheduled for Saturday, January 31, and Sunday, February 1, due to potential winter weather and unsafe road conditions across the county. Some events planned for Friday evening, January 30, will proceed as scheduled. In addition, GCPS will observe a Digital Learning Day on Monday, February 2, 2026, as a precaution, with all school buildings closed and no in-person classes, activities, athletics, or meal services. The district continues to monitor weather conditions closely and will provide updates if the schedule changes. Meanwhile, Gwinnett County has opened warming stations for residents to seek temporary relief from the cold, available from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. The weather forecast predicts very cold temperatures, with lows around 20-21°F and wind speeds of 10-15 mph, contributing to the decision to prioritize safety. The district emphasizes the importance of staying informed through official communication channels and encourages the use of the ParentSquare app for updates. Local news reports confirm the ongoing winter weather threat, with forecasters estimating 1-3 inches of snow expected over the weekend, and residents advised to avoid travel.
