Dear Community,
If you’ve seen law enforcement in or around our campuses, please be assured there is no cause for concern. Some of our school sites are currently being used by law enforcement agencies for scheduled drills and K-9 unit training.
This collaboration is part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen school safety plans and ensure preparedness.
Thank you for your continued care and support!
