Dear Parents/Guardians,
This morning, we received a call from the Franklin Park Police Department informing us about an alleged threat posted on Snapchat to a school in a neighboring district. Although there was no information connecting District 84 to this threat, we nonetheless made the decision to bring students into the buildings early as a precautionary measure while we gathered additional information.
At approximately 9:15 a.m., we were again contacted by the local authorities and informed that the threat was determined not to be credible and that they had discovered through communication with Snapchat that the message in question was, in fact, a re-posting that was over a year old.
We appreciate the efforts of the Franklin Park Police Department and, as always, are thankful for the faith you continue to place in us to keep your children safe. It is a responsibility that we are committed to above all else.
