NOTICE FROM THE APPLING COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM

Upcoming Safety Training Exercise

We want to take a moment to keep you informed about an important event currently in progress at Appling County High School. Our school will be conducting a collaborative safety training exercise in partnership with local law enforcement agencies.

The purpose of this training is to strengthen the working relationship between our school staff and first responders, and to ensure that both teams are well-prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any emergency situation that may arise during the school year. These types of exercises are a vital component of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment for every student and staff member in our district.

During the exercise, you may notice an increased law enforcement presence on or near the campus. Please be assured that this activity is entirely planned and coordinated — there is no cause for alarm. The training is designed to be as realistic and effective as possible while minimizing any disruption to the school day.

We are proud to work alongside our local law enforcement partners who share our dedication to the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Together, we are taking proactive steps to ensure Appling County Schools remain a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.

We appreciate your continued support and partnership as we work together to keep our school community safe.

Regards,
Dr. Elgin Dixon
Superintendent, Appling County Schools
