Dear Families,
As we begin a new school year, I would like to share important information about student safety.
As required by new Virginia legislation that took effect July 1, 2026, school divisions must provide families each year with information about the safe storage of firearms and prescription medications, as well as firearm safety. The requirement was established through Senate Bill 109 and House Bill 201. This annual notification reflects our division's ongoing commitment to protecting the safety and wellbeing of every student.
Safe firearm storage at home helps prevent accidents, injuries, theft, and unauthorized access. We encourage all families to take a few moments to review these important firearm safety reminders:
Store all firearms unloaded and locked in a secure location.
Store ammunition separately from firearms in a locked location.
Keep firearm keys, lock combinations, or access codes out of reach of children and unauthorized individuals.
Never leave firearms unattended or in places where children or teens may gain access.
Ask about secure firearm storage in any home where your child visits or spends time.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), firearms remain one of the leading causes of death for children and teens in the United States. Many firearm-related injuries and deaths involving teens and young people can be prevented through safe storage and responsible firearm ownership.
Families also play an important role in preventing accidental poisonings and medication misuse. To help keep children and teens safe, we encourage you to:
Store all prescription and over-the-counter medications in a locked cabinet or other secure location that is out of the reach and sight of children.
Keep medications in their original, labeled containers.
Never share prescription medications with anyone, even if they have similar symptoms.
Follow dosing instructions carefully and use the measuring device provided with the medication.
Properly dispose of unused or expired medications through a local medication take-back program or other approved disposal method.
The Virginia Department of Education also provides resources for parents and caregivers on youth safety, suicide prevention, and violence prevention. We encourage you to review these materials and discuss age-appropriate safety practices with your children.
Thank you for partnering with us to help keep our students safe both at school and at home.
Sincerely,
Marcia Martin, Ed.D
Superintendent

School attendance is important. Parents are reminded to send notes the first day your child returns to school. Parents are allowed 7 total notes to excuse an absence (1 note= 1 day). Of course, a note from the doctor is acceptable. Please make sure you submit this on the first day your child returns to school.

NCPS Families:
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining safe and secure schools, Nottoway County Public Schools will conduct a lockdown drill at our schools this week. These drills are an important part of our comprehensive school safety procedures and allow students and staff to practice how to respond appropriately in the event of an emergency.
Please know that this is only a drill. There is no threat or emergency at our schools. Students will remain under the supervision of school staff throughout the drill, and the exercise will be conducted in an age-appropriate manner.
We understand that safety drills can sometimes cause concern for students and families. Our goal is to ensure that everyone knows what to do during an emergency while providing a calm, supportive environment for our students.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to keep our students and staff safe.
We Are Nottoway-- Committed to Excellence!
