Good Afternoon,
School staff were notified today, for the second time this week, of a threat written on the wall of a middle school girls’ bathroom. The threat mentioned a possible shooting at school. The threat itself is being investigated to determine how and when it was written. School leaders and local law enforcement will be speaking to all middle school students during their lunches tomorrow. Making a threat of violence against a school, either verbally or in writing, is a crime. The school is pursuing it as a crime and the perpetrator will be held accountable.
Please also take a moment to reinforce with your students our expectation that our schools remain safe from threats of any kind or intimidation. Safety for our students and staff is our number one priority, and we always take all threats very seriously here at RCS. If any student sees or hears anything suspicious, concerning, or questionable, including, but not limited to, any specific threats or suspicious activity, we ask that they immediately report these concerns to a trusted adult, district administration, and/or law enforcement. We will continue to work with local and regional law enforcement to keep our schools safe.
