Dear Parents and Guardians,
Below is a priority notice we have received from the Maine Department of Education. This has been shared with all staff at Center Drive.
We have been contacted by the Penobscot County Dispatch Center, on behalf of Orono Police Department, that a Maine business has received an email threat, with specific schools identified as targets. These schools have been contacted directly, and all local police departments have been notified. The situation is being investigated.
As a precaution, we have been asked to advise all Maine schools to increase situational awareness, and report any suspicious activity or persons to local law enforcement. Please advise bus drivers to also increase their awareness and report immediately any suspicious or aggressive behavior of other vehicles.
We will share information as it becomes available. Please utilize your School Safety Plans and coordinate your communications and efforts with local law enforcement.
Districts across Maine have received this notification. Everyone is okay. We received our notification at 12:00 and have taken the following precautions, however.
Students and staff can move about the inside of the school as they normally would, but extra precautions will be taken for all parents and visitors entering the building. Students are with their teachers, following their normal schedule and directed to remain indoors until buses. Bus drivers have been notified and are aware of the situation.
Please note that Center Drive was not one of the identified schools. We are just taking the same precautions as other area schools.
We will keep you posted as we learn more.
Sincerely,
Judy Marvin, Building Principal
