1:00 update: We are working to ensure that every classroom at our middle and high school is secure and scanning each classroom with the support of our Sheriff's Office. As soon as our campus is clear, we will provide lunches to students and adjust our schedule accordingly. As of now we plan to dismiss all schools at regular time. Updates forthcoming. Thank you.

Update: we remain in lockdown at GMS and GHS while we attempt to verify details related to a threatening text message received at GHS. We have placed GES in a hold (all students inside) due to the proximity to GMS and GHS. We have heavy Sheriff's presence at the middle/high complex. There is no active situation, but due to the language in the text we moved into lockdown while we investigate. More updates forthcoming.
We are currently in lockdown at GMS and GHS as we respond to a threatening text message received at GHS. There is no active situation, but we are in lockdown while school staff and the Sheriff's Office work to resolve this situation. We will keep you updated.
