Dear Jackson-Reed High School Parents and Families,

At Jackson-Reed, we are committed to ensuring a safe school environment for our students. Communicating about potential security incidents is essential to maintaining strong partnerships with families.

This morning around 9:50 a.m., school administration received a threat of violence against our building. We immediately went into an alert status and notified the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), DC Public Schools (DCPS) Police, and DCPS school security to investigate the threat.

During alert status, entering and exiting the building is not permitted, but instruction and student movement throughout the building occurs as usual. Please be assured students and staff remained safe and accounted for during this time.

Shortly before 11:00 a.m., MPD and DCPS Police completed their sweep of our campus and confirmed no threat was present. MPD provided the all-clear and we have returned to normal building operations. The remainder of the school day will proceed as planned. However, out of an abundance of caution, students and families may notice an increased police presence in the neighborhood today.

The safety of our students is paramount. If you have any questions, please call our school office at (202) 282-0120 or email me at sah.brown@k12.dc.gov.

Sincerely,

Sah Brown

Principal, Jackson-Reed High School [/quote]
