Thank you for your patience and support as authorities have discovered the source and taken appropriate legal steps in regard to the specific threat at the middle school that caused today’s disruption. As always, we will investigate every threat in collaboration with local law enforcement and homeland security. Be assured appropriate legal and school disciplinary action will be taken. We hope this current trend of threats being experienced in many districts and states will end and help us to refocus on educating our students in a safe and nurturing environment.
A message from Athens City Schools regarding school safety.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We wanted to inform you that earlier this morning we were made aware of a threat mentioning our middle school circulating on social media.
Any threat we are made aware of is taken very seriously and will always be investigated with cooperation of law enforcement.
Law enforcement is actively investigating to determine its credibility.
As an extra security measure and peace of mind for our students,staff and families we will continue to have an enhanced security presence on our campuses.

Student Art Gallery, FREE books provided by Let's Read 20, and over 20 community partners will be setup to share information with our ACS families and staff.

TWU Kappa Beta Gamma Sorority visited the ACS classrooms today to present "I Spy" as a service project. The students loved playing the game.
Principals Dr. Walden and Ms. Hardaway are going GREEN today to bring awareness for Muscular Dystrophy.
Parents and families- we appreciate your patience and understanding as we have worked in conjunction with the Athens Police Department and local office of the Department of Homeland Security to fully investigate this matter. As suspected, the original threat reported yesterday afternoon was confirmed to be localized in the Athens, Georgia area and necessary action has been taken by the authorities. We appreciate the continued support and presence of our local police department as an extra security measure in our school community. If you chose to keep your student home today, please make sure to send a parent note with them as they return to school.
As always the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We wanted to inform you that earlier this afternoon we were made aware of a threat circulating on social media. Through coordinated efforts between Athens Police Department and the local office of the Department of Homeland Security, authorities believe the threat to be intended for Athens, Georgia and not Athens, Tennessee. As an extra security measure and peace of mind for our students and staff, we will have an enhanced security presence on our campuses over the next several days.
