Preparing for possible inclement weather for Tuesday, February 11
HCPS Families and Staff:
We are closely watching local weather forecasts predicting snow and ice on Tuesday, Feb. 11. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our first consideration. At the same time, we are also committed to providing learning experiences for students even when winter weather disrupts school operations.
The HCPS calendar includes built-in instructional time to accommodate unplanned closures. This extra time has allowed us to absorb the six days we missed school we had in January without compromising instruction. However, with most of that extra time now used, we will either need to leverage remote learning or look for ways to make up lost instructional time by adding minutes to the day or converting half-days or holidays into full school days.
IF school operations change tomorrow, Tuesday will be an asynchronous remote learning day. That means that students will access learning materials independently online to complete their work. There will be no live class meetings. Students will complete their work at any time during the day and must submit assignments to their teacher within 7 school days. To prepare for potential remote learning, teachers have been practicing with students in class, reminding them where and how to log in to access their assignments.
You can help prepare students at home by ensuring their school-issued laptops and tablets are fully charged. This step is important now before any power outages may occur. Stay tuned to Schoology or your school website to monitor the situation. Thanks!

Welcome to our new library feature: Reader Spotlight!
Each week, we are highlighting different readers from our community and the books they are currently reading. Follow @JagLibrary for more. Our very first feature is English teacher, basketball coach, and dog dad extraordinaire Mr. Stephens!
The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami
Why did you choose this book?
I chose this book mainly because I have a deep liking for most of Murakami’s works. While sometimes I can disagree with his shaping of certain characters, I usually find that the worlds that he places them in are worlds that I love learning about. The places where his characters reside or travel to always seem familiar yet novel, which keeps me hooked as a reader. I deeply enjoy how he connects his worlds and love how if you’ve read one thing by him, you’re bound to find some overlap in another work that you’re reading that serves as a little nod from him.
Do you recommend it?
I think I would recommend this book to anyone who simply loves a good fiction read with “gray” characters. If they’re a fan of an author who has a distinct style and a strong voice then this is right up their alley, I suppose. Also, anyone who is looking for a book provides some commentary about the world we live in post-pandemic times is going to find this book to be interesting!
Thanks for joining us and stay tuned for more amazing readers to come!
Are you interested in improving your Public Speaking? Are you called overly dramatic and require an outlet? Do you want an outlet for your own words? Think about taking Speech for Competition and the Stage (1121) at GAHS. Here you will learn how to better express yourself in front of an audience through improv, original oratory and interpretation. You will also have opportunities to compete and join one of the oldest Honor Societies in America, the National Speech and Debate Association.
GAHS is excited to extend an invitation to each of our Jaguars, grades 9-12, to attend the annual Teen Summit RVA 2025 event. It is an opportunity for students to network & explore significant topics that impact them, mixed with arts & entertainment. Details on our school website

HCPS students, families and staff:
We know you have questions about the approaching winter storm and the potential impact on schools. Here are answers to your “Snow Day FAQ” for Friday, Jan. 3.
1. Yes. We are aware of the potential for snow and ice on Monday and are monitoring weather forecasts as they develop.
2. Yes. A snow day right after winter break would be cool.
3. No. We haven’t decided about any potential closure yet.
4. All of the above. You can help us prepare for a possible snow day by a) wearing your PJs inside out, b) flushing ice cubes, and c) checking ParentSquare for updates.
Enjoy the remainder of your winter break. We look forward to seeing you Monday (maybe).
Sincerely, Henrico County Public Schools
With the weather turning colder, it’s a good time to remind our community that if weather conditions change the school schedule in any way, all staff, parents and guardians will be contacted via the ParentSquare phone, email and text notification system as soon as a decision is made. Note that the following outlets are controlled by HCPS and will have the most complete and accurate information available:

Students and Staff: Let's finish out the week STRONG with Spirit Week!
A message from your PTSA: Just a reminder that we have a limited number of glass pearlized GAHS Jags ornaments. This would make a great addition to any holiday tree especially for a Senior.
