Changes to School Calendar

Yesterday Superintendent Jason Kouns announced that Gilmer County Schools will be in session Thursday February 20th and Friday February 21st. That entire week was originally designated for mid-winter break, but now students will have Monday off for President’s day and Tuesday and Wednesday will be mid-winter break.

These changes to the calendar are due to “make-up” days for the inclement weather our region experienced last week.

Kouns stated,

“Although I am certainly not a meteorologist, I do believe that further snow events may arrive prior to Spring Break and I am trying to plan proactively to avoid the loss of other planned days/holidays.

I thank you for your patience and flexibility, and I will continue to do the best we can to keep the remaining school calendar as is.”
