Dear GCPS Families,

Due to higher-than-anticipated local tides, we are closely monitoring potential flooding in the Guinea and Allmondsville areas. The National Weather Center’s predictions have been exceeded, and we expect high tide around 2:20 p.m. today.

Our road assessment team will be monitoring conditions at high tide, and we will contact affected families if any transportation changes are necessary.

Families in the affected areas will have the option to pick up their students early if you prefer to avoid potential flooding. Any early pick-ups will be treated as excused absences. Please contact your school office if you plan to pick up your child.

In the event we need to adjust bus stop locations this afternoon, we will notify parents of the new bus stops.

We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as needed for the remainder of the week.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and families.

Sincerely,  

Dr. Anthony Vladu  
Superintendent, Gloucester County Public Schools
