ABSS has zero tolerance for weapons on campus. The student in possession of the gun will face disciplinary action to the fullest extent of our policy.   We appreciate students, families, and staff reporting safety concerns, as open communication is vital for school safety. We remain committed to enforcing critical safety measures.
