The earlier precaution was related to a nearby community incident and was not a threat to the school. Law enforcement has advised that the situation has been cleared for the Cubero Elementary School area.
All students and staff remain safe, and all school operations and programming have resumed as normal.
We appreciate the cooperation and patience of our students, staff, and families as we worked closely with law enforcement to prioritize safety.
The threat was not made against the school. All students and staff are safe, and school programming is continuing.
The shelter in place is a precautionary measure only while law enforcement addresses the situation in the surrounding community. There is no immediate danger to the school campus.
We appreciate the continued support of our families and community as we prioritize student and staff safety. Updates will be shared if additional information becomes available.
