Good afternoon, families,
This morning, Roan School and Blue Ridge briefly implemented a precautionary lockout due to nearby police activity unrelated to the schools. At the request of the Dalton Police Department, school staff secured the buildings and continued normal classroom activities while officers completed their work in the area.
At no point were students or staff in any danger. The lockout was taken out of an abundance of caution and was lifted once police activity concluded.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we work each day to support a safe learning environment for our students and staff.

To support a more focused, engaged, and distraction-free learning environment — and to comply with the new Georgia state law — personal devices (including cell phones and smart watches) will not be permitted during the school day for Dalton Public Schools students in grades K–8.
Families can still reach students and staff by calling the front office, emailing the teacher or school, or sending a message through the Dalton Public Schools app. These methods ensure clear, consistent communication while helping keep classrooms centered on learning.
Thank you for partnering with us to create a positive, distraction-free school experience for all students!
