Dear Parents and Guardians,

This afternoon, a student made an inappropriate and threatening comment in the classroom that prompted immediate action by the teacher. The teacher promptly notified school administration, who escalated the matter to our School Resource Officers (SROs) and Student Services Department for further investigation.

The student was removed from the classroom and will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the Jasper County School District Student Code of Conduct.

Following an investigation, it was determined that the student’s statement did not constitute a credible threat to the safety of students or staff.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. We take all threatening statements seriously and respond with urgency, care, and appropriate action. We are committed to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment for every student.

We appreciate the swift response of our teachers, administrators, and school safety personnel, as well as the continued trust and support of our families.

Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence invites parents, families, and community stakeholders to join us on Monday, November 16, at 5:00 PM in the RSAE Auditorium. This meeting will provide an opportunity to review and discuss RSAE's report card designation, understand the category weights that contribute to the school's rating, and explore our plan of action for continued improvement. Your input, partnership, and support are important as we work together to ensure success for every Jaguar.

Ms. Woodberry’s Functional Academics class proved that learning can be both meaningful and delicious! Students rolled up their sleeves to bake cupcakes from scratch, developing practical life skills while building confidence, independence, teamwork, and a spirit of giving as they shared their sweet creations with RSAE staff.
