Attention Parents and Guardians,
Today Gilmer County High School was put on code red lockdown due to a potential threat. State and local law enforcement responded to the event and completed a threat assessment in conjunction with school and district administration. A search and threat assessment was completed by law enforcement. The threat was not substantiated; therefore, the determination was made that Gilmer County High School students were safe to return to class.
The Resource Rundown is a free virtual session provided for parents or caregivers offering information related to accessible services for children.

You can find more information on the Kids Thrive website and register for the Resource Rundown every Tuesday at noon at https://kidsthrive.wv.gov/rundown/Pages/default.aspx.
