Dear Aaron Mossell JHS Parents and Guardians,
I am writing to inform you that earlier today at Aaron Mossell Junior High School, a student made verbal remarks that caused concern and could be perceived as threatening.
School administrators responded immediately and worked in coordination with the Lockport Police Department to investigate the situation. The Lockport Police Department determined that the remarks were not credible.
Please know that the District takes all concerning behavior seriously and responds promptly. When incidents arise, we follow the District’s Code of Conduct to ensure the well-being of our students and staff.
We ask that you take time to speak with your child(ren) about the seriousness of their words and actions, and the importance of never making threats toward others or the school.
In accordance with District protocol, additional security will be present tomorrow morning. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Principal Kalie Sonnenberg at (716) 478-4700.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in maintaining a respectful and secure learning environment for all.
Yours in Education,
Mathis Calvin III, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
