Rumor Clarification
There is a rumor going around town that there was an attempted abduction of a student near Simpson Elementary yesterday. That is not true. There was some concern expressed by a citizen who saw something that seemed out of the ordinary, so we spent some time yesterday investigating it to make certain there was not a danger to any of our students. The result of that investigation is that at no time was any student in any kind of danger.
The safety of our students is one of our primary concerns and we work very hard to make sure they are safe. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call either one of the buildings or the district office.
