Parent Information

This afternoon, I met with our students to provide them with an update on the investigation into the written threat that was discovered last week.  Students were given a letter to take home summarizing much of that information.  If your child did not share that information with you, please call or email me tomorrow and I will make sure you receive a copy.  The highlights of the letter are as follows:

  • We have taken several steps to ensure the continued safety of your child while at school.  This includes an increased police presence, including an officer assigned to the middle/high school complex for the remainder of this week.
  • This Friday, students will not be permitted to bring backpacks or other bags to school.  Bags with athletic/sports equipment needed for after-school activities will be checked upon arrival and kept in a secure location.  Any bags that students bring to school could be subject to random search.
  • If parents are uncomfortable sending their child to school this Friday, it will be considered an excused absence providing that a signed excuse is turned in on Monday.
If you or your child have credible information that would assist in the investigation, please contact me as soon as possible.  

Thank you,

Mr. Santini
