Macon County Schools

The Macon County School System was made aware of a Facebook post consisting of a threat against one, or more, of our schools. For that reason, all schools will be on a "soft lockdown" today while the authorities complete their investigation. This means that outside visitors are prohibited, PE and recess will be indoors, and your child might notice extra patrols by law enforcement. The safety of our students and staff remain our top priority. We apologize for any inconvenience or stress this may cause you or your child.

MCHS Homecoming Shirts--Please see the attached order form. Orders must be turned in by Friday, September 13th at MCHS Front Office.

REMINDER-There is no school tomorrow for students in Macon County due to Parent Teacher Conferences. Conferences will start at 12:00 pm.

This morning, Bus 6 was struck by a car using the incorrect lane in Fairlane Elementary's parking lot. The incident was very minor and all students were checked to ensure they were unhurt and will be monitored during the day. The students were then transported to their appropriate destination, Lafayette Elementary School and Central Elementary School. If your child was on the bus this morning and attends Lafayette Elementary School or Central Elementary School, feel free to call the school to check on your child.

This morning, the Macon County Sheriff's Office received a Facebook screenshot of a list of schools and school ID numbers that have been targeted. Our county was represented on the list. After checking, the schools are located in Georgia, and the state ID numbers match the Georgia schools as well. The sheriff's office is still investigating and we will be operating on a "soft lockdown" until we are given the "all-clear". This means that visitation to the schools is for personnel only and outdoor activities such as recess or PE class will occur inside. There will also be additional police patrols at the schools. Scheduled meetings (IEP, 504, disciplinary, or attendance) can still occur but attendees will be searched and the SRO will maintain a close proximity to the meeting. Please accept our apologies as we know any disruption creates undue stress and work for both you and your children, but the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.
