Dear Parents,
In order to keep you informed, we are notifying you that a student was found in possession of a knife after having passed it to three other students while on campus. The blade was confiscated and secured by Columbia County School District Police. Upon further investigation, there was no threat made; however, the students are being held responsible according to the code of conduct and the law.
Safety of students and staff is a top priority, and we take incidents such as these extremely seriously and will investigate fully. Parents, please speak with your student about the dangers of bringing inappropriate items on school campus or to any school-related events, and the serious consequences that will follow. Suspicious activity should be reported to a teacher, administrator or the Columbia County School District Police. Working together we can continue to provide a safe, positive environment for students and staff.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Principal Blake Stitcher
