Important CGPS Update - School is closed on Thursday, January 29, 2026. The side roads are still too icy and dangerous for the buses. Thursday will be a traditional snow day for students and staff. Even though our school district remains closed on Thursday, we want to take a moment to say thank you to our maintenance team. They have been working hard in the cold to clear the snow from our school sidewalks and parking lots. Please thank them when you see them after school opens again!
All of our schools will remain closed on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. There are many side roads that are still too dangerous for buses. Wednesday will be a traditional snow day for students and staff. We are thankful for your understanding as we prioritize the safety of our school family.
