GCCS Announces School Closure for Monday, October 26

Grants Cibola County Schools will be closed to students on Monday, October 26, due to the extreme weather conditions and significant rainfall the district has experienced over the past three days, along with the Governor’s declared state of emergency.

Out of an abundance of caution, the district is taking this step to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and families. Concerns include compromised road conditions in our rural communities, potential utility disruptions, and continued safety risks throughout Cibola County.

Employee Reporting Expectations

All GCCS employees are expected to report to their assigned duty stations at their regularly scheduled times. However, employee safety remains a priority. If you are unable to travel safely due to road conditions or other weather-related hazards, please notify your immediate supervisor as soon as possible.

Student Meal Availability

GCCS will provide grab-and-go lunches at a designated school site within the district. The specific location and distribution times will be announced soon. Meals will be available for pickup only; no on-site dining will be provided.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of our families, employees, and community as we navigate these challenging weather conditions. The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our highest priority.

Please continue to monitor official GCCS communication channels for updates and additional information.

School Closure Notice – Today

All schools in Cibola County will be closed today due to flooding and unsafe road conditions. Many secondary roads are closed, while others remain muddy and hazardous. These conditions prevent some students and staff from safely reaching school and pose significant safety concerns for our school buses and families transporting students.

The safety of our students, families, and staff is our top priority. Thank you for your understanding. Please stay safe!
