Dear Shelbyville High School Parents,
I hope this message finds you well. We would like to bring to your attention an issue that has come to our notice concerning a potential threat to the safety of our students and staff. We want to emphasize that this threat is unverified at this time, but we take all matters related to the safety of our school community very seriously.
Here are the key points you should be aware of:
1. Unverified Threat: We have received information about a potential threat to the school, but at this time, the credibility and seriousness of this threat have not been confirmed. We are working closely with local law enforcement to assess the situation.
2. Safety Measures: In response to this information, we have implemented additional safety measures within the school to ensure the safety of all students and staff members. These measures will remain in place until the situation is thoroughly evaluated.
3. Police Cooperation: Local law enforcement agencies are actively involved in this matter and are assisting us in determining the validity of the threat. We are following their guidance and recommendations to address the situation appropriately.
4. Remain Calm: We understand that situations like this can cause concern and anxiety. Please be assured that the safety and well-being of your children are our top priorities. We will continue to keep you updated as we receive more information.
5. Communication: We will provide any needed updates on this matter as they become available. It is essential to rely on official communication from the school for accurate and up-to-date information. Avoid spreading rumors or unverified information.
6. Report Suspicious Activity: If you or your child come across any information or behaviors that raise concerns, please report them to the school administration or local law enforcement immediately. While the StopIt app is helpful in reporting bullying and other issues, we also need first hand information in order to properly investigate.
Your child's safety is our utmost concern and we will continue to work diligently to ensure a safe and secure learning environment. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
