Glades County School District is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Milton. Currently, the National Hurricane Center places Southwest Florida inside the cone of uncertainty for a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday morning. Increased rainfall is expected to start Sunday and into Monday.
The School District will work with the Glades County Emergency Operations Center to receive the latest information, which will then be shared with you! As soon as a decision is made concerning school closures, we will announce via social media, District Website, and School Messenger/Thrillshare.

No school Thursday, September 26th due to Hurricane Helene. Everyone stay informed and safe.
We want to inform you that, due to the anticipated winds from Hurricane Helene, we have made the decision to cancel school for tomorrow. This choice was not made lightly; the safety of our students is our top priority, and we believe this is the best course of action under the current circumstances.
We made this decision in consultation with Glades County Emergency Management to ensure the well-being of our students and staff. We understand that school closures can be disruptive, but we appreciate your understanding as we prioritize safety.
Classes will resume on Friday, and we encourage everyone to stay updated on the situation. Please ensure that your family stays safe and secure during this time.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
