Although Nottoway has not been directly named in posts, we have been in contact with the Sheriff's Office and have increased police presence at our schools. We recognize this message is concerning and we want to reassure you the safety of students and staff is our top priority. As a reminder, if you see something, say something.

-The second time, the parent or guardian must come to school to get the phone.
