Dear Golden Falcon Families:
In an effort to make sure our students and staff are safe while on the campus at Charles B. Aycock High School, we will periodically perform drills in conjunction with local law enforcement agencies, which may include lockdown drills. Today, one of these drills took place at C.B. Aycock High School. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, with the full support of the school and district administration, did a safety check which included the use of their K-9 teams and placed C.B. Aycock into a soft lockdown while they were on campus.
Our primary goal is for all students and staff to have a safe place to learn, work and grow. Please discuss with your students the importance of these drills, and that proper protocols and WCPS policies must be followed at all times while in class, in our parking lots or anywhere on our campus.
I am proud of the hard work that had been done by our staff and students to make today’s soft lockdown run as smoothly as it did for all involved. I also want to thank our parents and community for their support in keeping our Golden Falcon Families safe. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school.
Sincerely,
Nelson Cunningham
Principal
