"Ensuring your student’s safety is our highest priority. Last night we were made aware of a threat on social media. We immediately contacted law enforcement and have been working closely with them throughout the night. We met early this morning and based on the current investigation have determined that it is safe to attend school today. In an abundance of caution we will have additional law enforcement presence on campus.

"When you are made aware of a situation that you believe threatens student safety please contact law enforcement and school leadership directly so that we may begin a coordinated response.
