Please see the flyers regarding Kennedy Road softball and football. They have been attached in an email. The football game has been moved to Memorial Stadium and it starts at 6:30pm. Softball has been rescheduled due to the heat advisory this week.
Middle School Athletics Changes Due to Heat: GSCS is expecting severe heat Tuesday-Thursday this week that is expected to exceed the WBGT allowed by our district regulations for outdoor extracurricular activities. Per our regulation, additional precautions start with a measure WBGT of 82. With a WBGT higher than 87, football players are restricted from wearing full pads, and over 92 no outdoor workouts can take place.
To combat these anticipated high temperatures, the following schedule adjustments have been made:
The annual GSCS Middle School football jamboree will be hosted by Rehoboth Road Middle School at Griffin's Memorial Stadium (310 E. Poplar Street, Griffin GA) on Saturday, August 19.

GSCS transportation is resuming at 4:30 pm. The severe weather has passed and is now safe for busses. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Spalding County is under a severe thunderstorm warning until 4:30 p.m. Buses have returned students to their schools until the storm passes. It is not safe to operate buses with wind above 40 mph and this storm had winds that reached 60 mph. The weather is moving from west to east and the area of high wind is nearing the east side of the county. Once the wind and weather has subsided we will resume bus transportation and notify parents. Thank you.
