🛑 Important Update for Our Community 🛑 Dear Parents and Community Members, We want to address the situation that occured this morning. Following the unfortunate events of the Georgia shooting, there has been a troubling hoax/prank circulating throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Over the past week, several school divisions have been affected by similar incidents, and today, both Mecklenburg an another nearby division were targeted. We understand that such situations can cause concern. Please be assured that our local sheriff's office has thoroughly investigated these reports and confirmed that they are indeed hoaxes. We are taking these incidents very seriously and have increased police presence at our schools to ensure everyone's safety and peace of mind. Your children's safety and well-being are our top priorities. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this challenging situation together.

Reminder: Schools will be closed for Labor Day, August 30th and September 2nd. Enjoy the long weekend and take some time to relax and recharge! 🎉 Have a great holiday! #LaborDay #SchoolHoliday #EnjoyTheWeekend
