Dear PDS Parents/Guardians,
Our highest priorities are the safety and security of our students and the PDS community. We want to inform you about an incident that occurred at our school on Monday, January 6, 2025, involving students who made inappropriate jokes accusing others of possessing a weapon. These remarks and actions understandably raised concerns and were promptly reported to the administration.
We take every situation seriously, and this incident is no exception. To ensure the safety of our students, we went on a brief lockdown on campus, which was monitored and supported by several police officers. Our commitment to the safety and well-being of our students is a top priority. We will continue to work closely with local authorities, and if necessary, we are prepared to press charges against those involved in the incident.
We encourage open communication between parents, students, and school staff. We appreciate your support in fostering a safe and secure learning environment. Please contact the school administration if you have any immediate concerns or questions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Griselda Cohen
Principal
