Parents and Guardians: We know that some of you are upset about the school not sending out a message earlier to inform everyone about the lock down. Per protocol, once law enforcement is on scene, they are in charge. They asked us to not put out anything to the public until the situation was handled. We must follow the direction of law enforcement as it is everyone's intention to keep all students and staff safe. We understand the frustration of not knowing all information immediately; however, we must follow protocol.
At approximately 8:30 this morning, there was an incident in the middle school. The middle school and high school were immediately put on lock down and law enforcement from both NTPD and TAT were on scene in just a few minutes. At that time, the elementary was also put on lock down. At 8:57 am, it was determined that there was no danger to students in the buildings and at that point, both schools moved to a soft lockdown. At 10:10 am, law enforcement informed us that there was no further danger and that we could resume school as normal. Our main focus to the safety of all students and staff and we have procedures in place in times of emergencies. A huge thank you to the immediate and diligent attention from TAT and NTPD law enforcement! Thank you for understanding. Dr. Anthony Vandal and Mr. Marc Bluestone Sr. , Superintendents
