The individual connected to the threats is now in custody, and law enforcement has confirmed that the school is secure and free of any known threats.
School will remain closed for the rest of today. We will return to normal operations tomorrow, September 23.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend, Warriors! We’ll see everyone back soon! ⚔️
#WarriorPride #LaborDayWeekend #NoSchool
Welcome back to school! The time has arrived to welcome back all our warriors. Get a good night's rest and we will see you in the morning. Note the breakfast and start times.
It is with profound sadness that I share that we lost one of our own this week. Anthony’s passing has been deeply felt by every member of our Warrior family. Losing someone so young is especially difficult, and I have found myself moving between disbelief, anger, and sadness. Many questions come to mind, but we quickly realize that the most important thing we can do is remember Anthony and the joy, kindness, and light he brought into the lives of others.
The loss of a student affects every member of a school community—students, staff members, families, and friends. Today, our staff had the opportunity to meet with grief counselors and begin processing their emotions. They shared stories, reflected on special memories, and remembered Anthony together. I can only imagine the smile he would have had knowing that we spent the afternoon sharing stories and thinking of him.
During times like these, we are reminded that every moment we spend with our children matters. We may never fully understand how meaningful a conversation, a smile, a kind word, or a simple moment together may be to a student, child, parent, or teacher. Please take time to cherish those moments.
As we move closer to the beginning of the school year, we know that our students will have questions and may experience a wide range of emotions. We will reach out directly to the families of students in Anthony’s class to provide guidance and resources to help them speak with their children. For our other parents and guardians, please let us know if your child is having difficulty processing this loss. Our school has resources available, and we will help connect your family with any additional support you may need.
Please continue to keep Anthony’s family, friends, classmates, and our entire Warrior community in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
