Dear SISD Families,
Students and staff are safe. I am writing to provide you with an important update regarding an event that occurred at school today.
At approximately 3:50 we were made aware of a potential threat at Sweetwater Middle School. Our priority was, and always is, to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We are relieved to inform you that the threat was successfully addressed by administration and local law enforcement.
We understand these events can be unsettling, and we want to assure you that the safety and well being of our students and staff are our top priority. We are grateful for the swift response of local law enforcement and the cooperation of everyone involved. We would also like to thank our staff for their quick actions.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
Sincerely, Kevin Stoker
