Dear Aaron Mossell JHS Parents and Guardians,

Recently, the district received information that one of our Aaron Mossel Junior High School students made comments to another student that could be perceived as a potential threat. In response, we initiated an investigation in collaboration with local law enforcement.

Following a thorough review, the investigation found no indication of a threat to the safety of our students or staff.

Please know that the Lockport City School District takes all concerns involving potential threats seriously. We follow established procedures, work closely with law enforcement when appropriate, and use our Code of Conduct to guide our response and address concerns appropriately.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priorities. We will continue to respond promptly to concerns and work closely with our law enforcement partners to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment.

We appreciate the continued partnership of the Lockport Police Department and the trust and support of our families. If you have questions or concerns, please contact AMJHS Principal Kalie Sonnenberg at 716-478-4700.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to keep our school community safe.

Yours in Education,

Mathis Calvin III, Ed.D. 

Superintendent of Schools
