Dear Parents,
At approximately 3:00 this afternoon, TPD in coordination with their bomb squad completed their search of all buildings and determined that the campuses are safe for students and staff to return.
Please note that due to the timing, pick up for any remaining students will continue to happen at Esmond Station K-8 (please see 2:41 PM communication for details).
We understand that students may have personal belongings at their respective schools.
Staff will be on hand at Empire, VBL, and VIC until 6:00 PM tonight to assist with anyone who may need to return to collect their belongings. Classrooms and buildings will be locked afterwards should you not be able to retrieve items tonight. If students are unable to return today, their belongings can be retrieved tomorrow morning.
Tonight's Junior SEP meeting is cancelled, as are all other EHS extra curricular activities for today.
Additional incident update: Students will be able to pick up belongings tomorrow.
Incident Update: Student drivers are being released if they don't have to go back to campus. All other students are being moved to Esmond Station Elem. to be released for pickup.
Parents,
Within the last 30 minutes, we received the same anonymous phone call at Desert Sky Middle School, Empire High School, and Cienega High School that simply stated there was a bomb on campus and the person then hung up.
We are coordinating with law enforcement who has advised each campus to evacuate buildings as a precaution.
We are following our standard procedures to insure all students are safe and buildings are cleared before any return.
We are working hand in hand with law enforcement on this ongoing investigation.
We will update as more information comes available.
Thank you,
Matt Donaldson
Principal
