Thursday, March 23, 2017 Dear CHS Families:
I'm writing to inform you of an incident that occurred at school today. We received word that one of our students, outside of school, possibly made threats concerning our school. We took action immediately together with our law enforcement partners to remove the student and investigate. The Frederick County Sheriff's Office, in cooperation with FCPS, is still investigating the circumstances. Please be assured that no one at our school was harmed or directly threatened, and there were no weapons at our school.
We take all threats concerning student safety extremely seriously, as does law enforcement. While we are handling this incident quickly and appropriately, we ask for your help in controlling rumors, particularly social media rumors. The bottom line is this: our school is safe, and we will work together as a community to keep it safe. We will share additional information as appropriate.
Sincerely, Bernie Quesada, Principal
