Guilford County Schools Shift to Remote Learning Amid Heating Problems
Guilford County Schools (GCS) recently announced a series of temporary remote learning days due to heating issues affecting several schools. On Monday, December 2, Jackson Middle School and Monticello Brown Summit Elementary transitioned to remote instruction, impacting students and staff. Additionally, fourth and fifth-grade students from Foust Elementary, who have been temporarily attending Jackson Middle since 2022 during the construction of the new Foust Gaming and Robotics School, were also affected. Despite these disruptions, students in kindergarten through third grade from Foust Elementary continued in-person learning at their temporary site, the former Murphey Elementary location.
For families navigating these sudden changes, GCS made accommodations to ensure access to essential services. Meal pickup times were organized for affected students, with distribution scheduled between 8 a.m. and noon for Monticello Brown Summit students and between 9 a.m. and noon for Jackson Middle and Foust Elementary students.

This is not the first time GCS has faced heating challenges this winter season. The district also announced that on Tuesday, December 3, both Page High School in Greensboro and Madison Elementary in Madison would pivot to remote learning for similar reasons. Affected students at these schools will also have access to meal distribution at designated times.
The district has not disclosed specific details regarding the nature of the heating problems or a definitive timeline for resolution. However, the decision to transition back to in-person learning for Jackson Middle, Foust Elementary, and Monticello Brown Summit on Tuesday indicates progress in addressing the issues. As temperatures in the Triad region dip to lows in the 20s, maintaining safe and warm environments for learning remains a priority.
These heating challenges highlight the ongoing struggles many school districts face in maintaining aging infrastructure. Guilford County Schools continues to communicate with families and provide updates through official channels, including their mobile app and local media outlets, ensuring that parents, students, and staff are well-informed during these disruptions.
