Thank you for your vigilance and attention to the safety of our school and community. The Appomattox County Sheriff’s office also received this information and has investigated the post. They have determined that this post is not related to any Appomattox County School or Appomattox Middle School in particular. As any extra measure of security, the Sheriff’s department has posted extra officers at AMS to be present and ensure the safety of our school. We thank you for partnering with us in keeping our students safe.
