Dear PDS Families,
We are writing to inform you about recent threats circulating among students. As soon as we are aware of any threat, we immediately report it to the Phoenix Police Department. Phoenix Police take immediate action to conduct a thorough investigation and take every precaution necessary to maintain a safe environment at school.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We understand that news of such incidents can be alarming and may cause your child to feel scared or anxious.
Please be advised that spreading misinformation about school threats, whether in person or through social media, is a serious offense. Such actions not only create unnecessary fear and disruption but can also have severe legal consequences. Knowingly spreading false information about school safety can lead to felony charges, and we urge you to discuss this with your children to help them understand the gravity of the situation. If they hear or see any threats, please report them immediately to the school administration or the police.
If your child expresses any concern or fears about this situation, please encourage them to reach out to a trusted adult at school. We are here to support our students through this and will continue to work diligently to keep them safe.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Griselda Cohen
Principal
