Parents,
The rumor that is circulating about a threat of a shooting at school tomorrow has been thoroughly investigated and was found to only be a rumor and is NOT true.
If there is ever a threat or concern regarding the safety of your child we will make it a priority to communicate that to you in a timely matter.
Thank you.
