Good afternoon, Princess Anne and Greenwood Elementary Families. We are reaching out to inform you of a community event occurring nearby that has drawn police presence. Due to proximity, both schools have been placed on lockdown by law enforcement. However, local law enforcement has deemed it safe to dismiss at the normal time. There is no threat on campus of either school, and they are locked down as a precaution at this time. There will be no delay with dismissal. Thank you.
