Today it came to our attention that a student overheard another threatening to have a family member come and “take care of” a student that they were angry with. We already had the student in the front office and they were being questioned for an incident that happened earlier. We do not believe there was a credible threat, but will be taking appropriate action with the student for what was said.
Congratulations to the McBride TerrorBytes team 14670 for winning the Innovate Award sponsored by Raytheon Technologies at the SE Detroit League Qualifier this past Saturday. Winning this award earned us a spot in the State Championships this Friday and Saturday.
Way to go MMS TerrorBytes!
This morning we became aware of a rumor that a student had threatened to harm another student and “shoot up the school”. We contacted the Van Buren Police Department and met with them before school started. They had begun an investigation the night before and we worked with them to determine credibility before school started. Our investigation continues, but we wanted to make it clear to families that the student was not in school today and will not be until the investigation is complete. We want to thank the parents that informed us this morning. If you or your child hear about threats to a student or to the school, please reach out to us immediately or use OK2Say. This program is through the Department of Education and the Michigan State Police and you will remain anonymous. Staff will receive a phone call after the report is made and we will be able to investigate immediately. Anyone can report tips confidentially on criminal activities or potential harm directed at students, school employees, or schools.
