Please be aware schools across the state of Georgia must participate in an intruder alert drill mandated by the Safe Schools Act. Crisp County Schools will participate in these drills starting tomorrow, September 19, 2024 and will conclude on September 25, 2024. This is another proactive safety measure to help keep CCSS a safe place to learn, work, and grow. Thank you for your help!

We have an increased presence of law enforcement at our schools out of an abundance of caution. Working in collaboration with the Crisp County Sheriff's Office we agreed that an increased presence is the right thing to do at this time. NO Schools have been on lockdown today! We respond to every report, perceived or otherwise, in order to assure the safety of our students and staff. We also have drills planned but not as a result of any threat. Under the Georgia Safe Schools Act, all Georgia schools must conduct an Intruder Drill every year by October 1 and report the drill to the state to be compliant with the Act. This is a routine event that is conducted every year.

***Please Share***❗❗📢📢Increased Law Enforcement Presence at Crisp County Schools ❗❗📢📢 This week, we met with the Crisp County School Board to address the recent threats made against schools, including Friday’s threats and those at the middle school on Monday. These incidents are part of a broader pattern of threats seen across Georgia. While none of the threats we investigated have been deemed credible, our top priority remains the safety of our community’s children. To ensure this, we have pledged additional officers to our schools given recent events. We are also increasing manpower and security measures, particularly for events that allow public access to school grounds, where individuals who are not normally present may attend. Out of an abundance of caution, you will notice an increased law enforcement presence at Crisp County Schools. The safety of our children is nonnegotiable, and we are committed to ensuring their protection at all times.

Homecoming is around the corner! If you are interested in your child having pictures taken, BPI Photography will be at the dance. We have attached the order form for your convenience, but we also have printed copies in the media center.

The Crisp County School System uses an online application called Thrillshare to communicate with our parents, staff, and students. Thrillshare allows us to manage online interactions across the web, mobile, social media, and alerts within one place. This is the same mobile app that we use to notify you of weather events, bus delays, and other information. Today, we used the app and have since discovered there is a glitch preventing complete functionality. We do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused in communicating efficiently with you in regards to today’s events. It seems that certain functions worked properly such as the Live Feed and Facebook, but not the notifications or text messages. Our technology team will be working with the Thrillshare support team to resolve these issues. We want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to work through this issue.
