Dear Families,
Due to snow and some inaccessible sidewalks around the drop-off loop, we will be making temporary changes to car rider drop-off and dismissal tomorrow to ensure student safety.
Families who normally use the church to turn around will need to go all the way around the building, as the church’s front loop is currently blocked by snow.
In the morning, we will only use the front entrance and the gym door to release students. Watch for staff members to direct you and motion that it's safe for your child to exit the car. Once your child exits the vehicle, you will need to continue traveling around the drop-off loop instead of going forward to exit.
During afternoon dismissal, we will not use the front loop to load students tomorrow. Please anticipate that dismissal may take additional time. After school activities will still happen tomorrow.
Additionally, the Brookhaven neighborhood behind our school has not been plowed at this time, so we strongly suggest using an alternate route.
Please take your time and drive safely. Morning car rider drop-off will begin at 10:10 AM, with school starting at 10:40 AM tomorrow. Afternoon car rider dismissal will conclude at 3:50 PM.
Students will be permitted to wear boots. We will also celebrate the 100th day of school. Check your newsletter for more information.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize student safety.
DELAYED START| All JCPS schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, February 2, 2026. Early Childhood classes are canceled for the day. All after school athletic events and extracurricular activities remain as scheduled. There is no change to dismissal times.
A delayed start will allow students to be at bus stops and walking to school in the daylight.
We can’t let Ms. Sanders leave without saying goodbye and wishing her a happy retirement! 🎉👏 Join us for our virtual clap out tomorrow morning, January 30, at 10:00 AM, as we celebrate and thank her for over 25 amazing years at Greathouse Elementary.

NTI DAY | Today, our teams spent the day evaluating road conditions and school campuses across the District. While many main roads remain in good shape, several side streets and neighborhood roadways are still icy.
These conditions have led us to utilize another Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Friday, January 30. Students should follow their school-specific NTI instructions. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.
All athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

TECHNICAL ISSUE | We’re aware of a technical issue with the Parent Portal that is causing some 2026–27 school year enrollment information to display incorrectly. Our IT team is actively working to resolve the issue, and we anticipate it will be fixed by next week.
We’ll share an update once the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

❄ NTI DAYS | After evaluating road conditions throughout the community, Wednesday, Jan. 28 and Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026, will be Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Days for JCPS students and staff.
While our crews report that most main roads are in good shape, many side streets and neighborhood roads across the county remain hazardous. Due to these lingering conditions and low temperatures, we believe transitioning to NTI is the safest choice for our students and staff.
Students should follow their school’s established NTI protocols. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.
All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Wednesday and Thursday. If there are any changes to the YMCA CEP program, families will be notified by YMCA CEP.
Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we navigate these winter conditions. Please stay warm and safe.
