Good afternoon, Wildcat families.
As I'm sure some of you are aware, there was an incident that occurred at the south end of town this morning involving a motor vehicle accident where two suspects fled the scene on foot. Upon hearing this information via email alert, we took immediate precautions and initiated a soft lockdown. This included keeping the students indoors with all outside access doors locked. We did not send out any notifications to parents at the time because the SCSO had not advised us to do so. I was doing check-ins with the SCSO and once it was confirmed that the individuals were taken into custody, we then released the soft lockdown. There was no sense of panic with students or adults on campus at any time, as that was the goal. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your continued support and trust,
Kelli O'Connor
