Dear families:
As the details of the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County continue to unfold, the Douglas County Board of Education and I are deeply saddened by today’s events. Our hearts are heavy with concern for the Barrow County community. We want to extend our deepest condolences to the families directly affected by this profound loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the students, staff, and families of Apalachee High School. Families, I want to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students and staff will always be our highest priority. In light of today’s events, we are increasing our security protocols. We will continue working alongside our Douglas County School System Police Department to keep our schools as safe as possible. Additionally, we will continue working daily to review and strengthen our security and emergency response protocols. School counselors and Crisis Response Team are available to support any students needing help processing this tragedy. It is important, and we encourage you to talk with your children about their feelings. Please reach out if you need additional resources or support. We ask that you join us in keeping the Barrow County School community in your thoughts and prayers. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our school administrators. Please also know that if there is an emergency situation or drill at our school, we will notify parents as soon as safely possible.
Yours in service,
John Chandler - TMS Principal
