A student began a physical confrontation with a parent in Pine Hill Middle School’s front office Friday afternoon, Principal Gregory Shields said in a letter to families. Police from the Richmond County school system and school administrators responded immediately, he wrote.
Shields said the response is proceeding under the district’s Code of Student Conduct and Discipline, as well as the laws that apply.
He encouraged families to talk with their children about making responsible choices, leaving conflicts and following staff directions. Students who have concerns can alert a school adult they trust or use the district’s safety tip line at 706-828-1077, Shields said.
