Parental Letter 101924.docx

Please see the attached letter from the School Board Office regarding an incident that occurred Friday, October 18, 2024.  

The statement below will be shared with students on Monday.


On Friday, it was discovered that a student had brought a handgun to school. There is no evidence that the student brought it to hurt or harm anyone.  

Due to the seriousness of this, the student is not at school now. 

The sheriff's department and our SROs will be around the schools more to make everyone feel safer and to help ensure the safety and security of all the students and staff. 

A few students on the bus told their parents what they saw, which was the right thing to do.  Remember.  If you SEE SOMETHING.  YOU SHOULD  ALWAYS SAY SOMETHING.

Everyone is safe, and there was never a threat, but we know this is a scary situation. Let’s all take a few minutes to discuss it, and then we can start our day.
