Dear Parents,
In an effort to keep you informed, we are notifying you of an incident in which a student was
found with a knife on campus.
Administrators received a report that an 8th grade student had a knife in class and had shown it
to another student. Columbia County School District Police immediately responded. Upon
further investigation, the knife was found in the student’s possession and secured by police.
The student is being held accountable according to the code of conduct and the law.
Safety of students and staff is a top priority and we take reports such as these extremely
seriously and will investigate fully. Parents, please speak with your student about the
seriousness of bringing inappropriate items to school, and the consequences that will follow.
Suspicious activity should be reported to a teacher, administrator or the Columbia County
School District Police. If you see something, say something. Working together we can continue
to provide a safe, positive environment for students and staff.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely
Blake Stitcher
Principal
