Dear Davis County Parents and Community,
This morning the district went into what we call a “soft lockdown” and did not allow anyone to enter or leave the middle school and elementary buildings for about an hour. We took this precautionary measure because of a safety concern involving a threat made by a student yesterday who did not come to school this morning as expected. This student is now in the custody of the Bloomfield Police Department and no longer poses a threat. We have returned to our normal building safety posture which includes controlled access to the buildings.
We will be working closely with the authorities to ensure this student will not pose a threat to the safety and well being of anyone at school in the future.
Please know again that actions the district took this morning we’re precautionary and part of our Emergency Operations Plan designed to maximize efforts to ensure safety for our students, staff, and guests. Thank you to the Bloomfield Police Department for their quick response and cooperation in this matter.
We will continue to be vigilant in our planning and emergency response efforts to support our number one priority of SAFETY.
Please direct any questions you might have to the superintendent’s office.
Sincerely,
Dan Maeder, Superintendent

Also, we have added on a rescheduled cross country meet to Thursday, October 10th. This will mean we will push back the start time of the Homecoming Coronation from 7 to approximately 7:45 or 8 pm to allow all of those athletes to attend!
