Dear Families:
I wanted to make you aware of a situation that was brought to our attention in the middle school involving a list that was found labeled “People We Should Kill.” After investigating, we were able to identify the students involved and determine that the list was created at the beginning of the year but was recently found by another student and reported. Students involved will face appropriate disciplinary consequences.
Situations of this nature are taken very seriously by the school system. This situation serves as a reminder that information such as this should always be reported immediately to school officials and/or law enforcement. In this case, the open lines of communication that exist between students, parents, and school administrators allowed us to swiftly and thoroughly investigate this particular matter.
Thank you for your support as we work to provide a safe, secure learning environment for our students. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.
