Social Media Threat Information
Thursday, December 16, 2021
Dear Caldwell School District Parent/Guardian:
Today, we were made aware of warnings being posted on TikTok (social media) nationwide about the threat of school violence on December 17, 2021. These posts are being shared across the country and law enforcement authorities report that there is currently no information that these warnings are directed toward any Caldwell School District school. Caldwell Police Department officials are aware of these social media posts and we are committed to working with them to ensure appropriate school safety precautions are taken. At this time, school will be conducted as normal tomorrow. The Caldwell Police Department is communicating internally and with school staff to heighten awareness.
Please speak to your child about using social media platforms in a responsible way and to not share information that may be inaccurate. This can create unnecessary fear. It is also important that if any student, parent/guardian, staff member or community member sees something suspicious to please report it to the school immediately or call police. We take all concerns about school safety seriously and want to respond appropriately.
Report a tip: Call 888-593-2835
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Caldwell School District
