Welcome
Good afternoon families,

Today there was an incident at the school. A formal letter is LINKED HERE and will be placed on our website, socials, and through email regarding this and scholar’s will bring a letter home as well.

I am so proud of scholars and staff for following safety protocol. I am appreciative to our families who remained calm and supportive during the process.

When we work together we can continue to keep our scholars, staff, and school a  safe and welcoming space.

 

Please note the threat was unfounded but we will treat all threats seriously.

Also there are consequences for making false threats and the PPD will follow up accordingly.

Any staff or scholar who wants to talk to someone about what happened today to work through their feelings should speak with our counselor or Prevention and Intervention liaison so we can support.

I thank you all.

One Band One Sound.

Thank you always 💙
