Weapon Confiscated
May 28, 2026
Dear Families,
I am writing to inform you about an incident at Buck Lodge Middle School on Thursday, May 28.
A student was found to be in possession of a kitchen knife. No students or staff members were harmed in this incident. The student will be disciplined accordingly.
The safety of our students is our top priority. Please assist in our efforts to maintain a safe learning environment by discussing with your child acceptable behaviors that support a positive school climate. Discuss with your child the consequences, such as expulsion, for bringing weapons or anything that resembles a weapon to school. Please encourage your child to always immediately report the sighting of any weapon or suspicious objects on school grounds to a staff member or trusted adult.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact 301-431-6290 or kenneth.nance@pgcps.org.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Kenneth E. Nance
Principal
