Dear Parents and Guardians,

| want to inform you of an incident that occurred involving one of our students. While our fourth graders were riding the school bus to a recent event, a single bullet was discovered on the floor by another student. It was reported to school personnel, who followed district safety protocols and notified school administrators.

Upon investigation, we determined that the bullet had accidentally fallen from a student's coat pocket. There was no weapon involved, and at no time was there any direct threat to students or staff. Please know that we are actively working in close collaboration with the student’s family and local law enforcement to ensure that our school remains a safe and supportive environment for all students and staff.

Please know that the safety of our students is our top priority. We take all matters involving school safety seriously and are committed to maintaining a secure environment for all.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact my office directly.

Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely,

Tricia Soltesz Principal
