Dear Families,
We want to update you on the situation that occurred earlier today regarding a threat made toward Great Bend Middle School. A thorough investigation by local law enforcement and detectives confirmed that the threat was fabricated in an attempt to disrupt school operations. The images were pulled from the internet and edited to include threatening language.
We understand that many students are aware of this situation and that these images have been circulating among the student body today. To calm student concerns and address the issue, teachers will share a message with all students to inform them of the situation and the results of the investigation. We want to ensure that our students feel safe and informed.
Please know that the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. While this was a false alarm, we take all threats seriously and will continue to work closely with law enforcement to ensure the ongoing safety of our schools.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Myron Ellegood
Principal - Great Bend Middle School
