News & Notes
Greenville County Schools on eLearning Monday, January 26. All activities are canceled. Facilities closed.
Greenville County Schools will have an eLearning day Monday, January 26. Schools and office buildings will be closed. All activities, including athletic events and field trips, are canceled. This decision was made based on the forecasts and timing for ice, freezing rain and sleet, which may result in unsafe road conditions, downed power lines, and loss of electrical services. Because we are an approved eLearning district, this day will not have to be made up and instruction will be provided virtually. | GCS eLearning Monday, January 26, 2026 Announcement
eLearning Expectations and Helpful Hints
he state Education Oversight Committee approved Greenville County Schools as an eLearning district in the fall of 2020. This designation allows the district to conduct eLearning on inclement weather days. The eLearning days are not counted against the district and therefore do not require the use of make-up days. Below are the procedures and expectations for students on eLearning days.
Inclement Weather:
For the purpose of inclement weather days, eLearning is defined as live instruction throughout the day. This live instruction may be with a whole group, small group, and/or individual sessions. Students are expected to log on to their live instruction through their Google Classroom during inclement weather days. If students are unable to join the live meets due to power loss, sickness, etc., work must be made up within five days of returning to school. | Inclement Weather Instructions for Parents
eLearning expectations:
Be sure to follow the Greenville County website & Facebook pages for any updates to school delays or an eLearning day.
Students are required to participate in eLearning & complete assignments, just as if it was a normal school day
eLearning procedures:
Students will power on their Chromebook and authenticate their device.
Students will log into their Google Classroom at 7:45am using their homeroom Google classroom link.
Teachers will give guidance as to instruction & additional times during the day they will be required to log in & join Google Meets.
Please contact your child’s teacher if your child is having difficulty logging into Google Meets; or if you have loss of power.
