Earlier today, the Craig County Public Schools became aware of a phishing campaign involving the division’s email system. We are actively investigating this matter, but have observed suspicious emails sent from the email accounts of both division staff and the families of our students. As a precaution, we encourage families and staff to exercise caution while using email, particularly if you have received messages containing unexpected links, attachments, or requests for information. Please do not respond to or interact with suspicious messages. We recognize the concern this may cause, particularly on the first day of school. We are taking this matter seriously and are working to address the situation as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
