FYI

On Friday, July 29 and Friday, August 5, the Williamsburg Police Department will be conducting practical training exercises at Matthew Whaley Elementary School. We wanted to make the public aware of this training as there will be a large police presence in the area and simulated gun fire may be used during the training. School is not in session, and no students or staff will be involved in the training. The MWES parking lot will be blocked off, and the school will be closed to visitors both days.
