[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the heck is happening there? Anyone know why the school went into lockdown again today? I'm hearing different stories but not seeing any news or information on the media about it.
It went on lockdown just two days ago and not a single peep from the media or the police. Why so hush, hush??[/quote]

Nothing is happening AT Seneca Valley High School.

Here are the e-mails from Dr. Cohen about the first incident:

[i]Good afternoon parents.  At about 12:20 p.m., we had a report of possible gunshots across the street from the school.  We went into a lockdown out of an abundance of caution. We have since been advised by Montgomery County Police that the situation is no longer an immediate threat to the school and have transitioned to a shelter in place.  I will reach out again when we are no longer in a shelter in place.[/i]

and

[i]The purpose of this letter is to inform you that an incident occurred in the community this afternoon that required the school to Lockdown.

At 12:21 p.m., we received a report of possible gunshots across the street from the school.  We immediately implemented our school’s emergency response plan and went into a lockdown.  We then coordinated efforts with the Montgomery County Police Department to determine when it was safe to resume normal school operations.  We have no reason to believe that today’s incident involved anyone from our school and it is important to share that all students and staff were kept safe and secure throughout the lockdown.  Counselors will be on site tomorrow if your child has a need to talk with someone about this incident.

Here's the e-mail from Dr. Cohen about the second incident:

[i]Good afternoon SV Community.  I am writing to share that this afternoon, we were notified by the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) that an incident was happening off campus in the community.  They directed that we go into lockdown and we did so.  Soon after, MCPD advised that we could step down into a shelter-in-place and then resume normal operations.  At no time was there a danger in the building or on the campus that we are aware of.  We responded out of an abundance of caution.  I will follow this message with a letter letter today.[/i][/quote]

So the only thing happening at Seneca Valley high school this past week are two lockdowns resulting from things like gunshots around Seneca Valley High School. That would make me feel so much better. [/quote]
