Update on High School and Hutchins
Parents of high school: The district appreciates your cooperation, as the administration and staff have worked to keep your students safe with minimal interruptions to the high school activities. The situation on Roberts Street is being contained, and law enforcement is confident the high school can resume normal activities while remaining vigilant to the law enforcement situation three blocks to the south of the high school. A modification to the high school schedule is in order due to the law enforcement situation. The upper class switched their lunch times with the 9th grade and will have their lunch beginning at 12:45 rather than the normal 11:15. Once lunch is completed, high school students will continue with the 7th and 8th periods. A normal dismissal will follow. Thank you for your cooperation!
Parents of Hutchins: Avenue I continues to be barricaded while law enforcement works to resolve the situation on Roberts. Access to the Hutchins campus is still restricted. Local law enforcement has assured us that a typical parent pickup will occur this afternoon. Law enforcement is hopeful that the situation will be resolved prior to parent pickup, but in the event the situation continues, law enforcement will open Avenue I and utilize law enforcement to help parents retrieve their children.
