Dear Families and Community,
We are writing to address rumors currently circulating on social media regarding a potential safety threat at Rosemary Clarke Middle School scheduled for tomorrow.
Please be assured that the safety and security of our students and staff are our highest priorities. As soon as we were made aware of these social media posts, school administration immediately partnered with the Nye County Sheriff's Office to conduct a thorough investigation. Deputies thoroughly evaluated the online posts, conducted student interviews, and completed home visits.
Following this comprehensive investigation, law enforcement confirmed that there is no evidence supporting any threat to our campus. The rumors are unfounded, and school will proceed on its normal schedule tomorrow with full confidence in our campus safety. In an abundance of caution, the sheriff's department will increase the police presence at the school and in the area.
We want to thank the individuals who alerted us to these posts. This situation serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of our "See Something, Say Something" practice. We also encourage our school community to report concerns directly to administration or law enforcement rather than sharing unverified rumors on social media, which can cause unnecessary fear.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in keeping our students safe.
Sincerely,
April Sutton
Principal, Rosemary Clarke Middle School
