News and Announcements

Dear Ninth Grade Center Parents and Families,

I want to provide you with additional details about the alleged threat we dealt with today. After investigating and talking with several students, we learned the following:

A few students were playing a game during a 6th period class yesterday. Their conversation was overheard and misconstrued by another student. Ultimately, that led to a rumor being circulated about a threat to our campus.

Today’s situation should serve as a reminder to students of the importance of reporting safety concerns to an adult. Sharing rumors with another student often creates fear but does nothing to remedy the situation. Telling an adult or reporting anonymously through our website allows us to begin an immediate investigation.

We take every threat seriously and investigate fully.

Thank you,

Dr. Jeffrey Bradley, Associate Principal

Dear Ninth Grade Center Parents and Families,

This morning we became aware of a rumor circulating through text message about a potential threat to our campus. We are grateful to the parent who alerted school administrators and immediately began an investigation into this matter.

After talking with students, parents, and reviewing campus videos, I want to assure you we have found nothing to substantiate a threat.

I would ask that you have a conversation with your student about being responsible when sharing information about student safety. If your child is aware of any unsafe conditions or potential threats to students or staff, the first course of action should be to tell an adult rather than sharing what may be false information through text messages or social media. While I certainly understand this is how students stay connected, sharing rumors instead of telling an adult results in widespread fear and anxiety.

Weatherford ISD students and parents may also report safety concerns anonymously.

Sincerely,
