Good evening, Unit #20 family: In reference to rumors and false information that circulated this afternoon around our community, at no time was there a threat to the students, staff, or school community, nor was there ever a threat of violence with a gun on and/or near school grounds. While some parents and students are still concerned about these erroneous rumors, we will continue to work in tandem with the Lawrenceville City Police Department and the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office as an added measure of security to put an end to those fears. The administration wants to emphasize that safety is our top priority and we will continue to be vigilant and work collaboratively with the law enforcement entities within our community. Sincerely, Unit #20 Administration

Unit #20 would like to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you to our staff, students, parents, and community for supporting all that we do. We truly are grateful for each and every one of you.
