Ensuring the Safety of Our Schools: Addressing Recent Rumors - We are aware of misinformation circulating throughout our schools and communities regarding rumored incidents of school violence at various campuses within our district.
Please know that these messages are being reposted and reshared at schools throughout our district and at schools throughout the state. Your children’s safety is our top priority. We take all threats seriously and work in collaboration with law enforcement to fully investigate each and every rumor and/or post that is shared. There is no active threat impacting the safety and security of any of our school campuses.
Rumors of this nature cause a great deal of concern, stress and anxiety. When those are shared on social media, the impact is far-reaching, and causes unnecessary concern for other parents, students, and staff, and divert critical resources away from genuine safety and security efforts.
If ever there is an actual incident of school violence at your child’s school or if a threat of violence at your child’s school warrants your attention, school and/or district communications will notify you. We are committed to sharing accurate information as quickly as situations allow.
We hope to never have to notify you of an actual event of school violence, and we are fully committed to maintaining the safety and security of our schools through a variety of safety measures and close collaboration with local law enforcement.
If you or your student ever have a safety concern, or if you hear a rumor of a safety concern, we ask that you immediately notify the appropriate authorities. This includes local law enforcement and the administration at the district office or the school involved.
Thank you for your support as we work together to keep our schools, and your children safe.
Today, students in Ms. Robinson's class participated in the annual 9/11 National Day of Service, #IWillFor911Day. This campaign honors the spirit of unity and kindness felt in our country in the days following the tragedy of 9/11. Students pledged to do good deeds or acts of service in observance of Patriots Day and we challenge you to do the same!
We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit, how 'bout you!?
Next week is SPIRIT WEEK! Help us cheer on the Patriots as our football team has their first home game!
We hope to have EVERYONE participate, but all spirit week attire must adhere to dress code regulations (unless otherwise noted. Ex: Hat day).
