Good Morning Grant Middle School Families, We are currently under a building lockdown due to a student that was in possession of a firearm. As soon as we received the information our team responded and put the building in lockdown and secured the weapon. We are currently investigating to see if there is any additional threat in collaboration with Marion County Police Department. At this time we are not able to release students to you. As soon as the lockdown is lifted we will notify all families.
