Do you have children on the Close? The schools will send emails to families that have children at those schools. |

Yes, but the emails so far haven’t given any indication of what triggered the lockdown. |

Maybe because the communications are always terrible we come here to see if anyone knows more. You should know that. |

| So far no communication from Beauvoir on what actually happened. Par for the course. |

It’s not clear to me that they did promise anything. Just that support resources would be made available. |

| The email came out ten mins ago with resources that would have helpful three hours ago. Typical. |

This is from an email sent by NCS
“Just prior to 2:00 pm today, we received from the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation (PECF) Police a report that Beauvoir had received an unverified call containing a specific threat of violence to the Beauvoir campus that law enforcement later discredited. ” |

| As Beauvoir parents, we think the school handled this very responsibly. They didn’t know for certain that this was a hoax until the police completed their sweep, and at that point the children were safely sent home. They kept us in the loop about going into lockdown and sent frequent updates that everyone was safe while the police were investigating. And now they’ve sent a more complete explanation within hours. Our children have no idea what happened other than a weird end of the school day. We genuinely don’t know what they could have done better, and we’re glad that they’re so prepared for this type of situation. |

Oh come on. The school offered pointers to easy-to-find online resources and the in-house counselors. They did not deprive parents of essential time-sensitive information. What’s typical here is that they did a good job of communicating. |
