Dear Parents and Guardians,

Sorry for the confusion. This message has clarification regarding Homecoming activities.


We are pleased to share that local law enforcement has completed a full sweep of our Middle/High School building and has confirmed that the facility is clear and safe.

As you may be aware, similar threats were reported across the state today. Our students and staff have been safely bussed back to the school building.

We understand that this has been a long process for our students and staff, but student and staff safety is our number one priority.

Cell Phone Policy Exception: To allow families to connect and check in, an exception to our cell phone policy will be made for the remainder of this afternoon. Your student will be permitted to communicate with you directly via their phone.

We deeply appreciate law enforcement’s swift response and our community’s support and patience throughout the day. If you have any remaining questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the main office.

The Homecoming Parade is postponed. More information about this being rescheduled will come in the following days. The Homecoming dance is still scheduled for tomorrow as normal. The rest of the festivities which the students missed out on today will also be announced for rescheduling in the following days.

Sincerely,
