PUBLIC SAFETY MESSAGES - ARCHIVED 2017-2018

Today, Sunday, May 13th, the St. Helens School District was contacted by the St. Helens Police Department regarding a non-credible potential bomb threat found in a geocache notebook located in the Columbia City area. The St. Helens Middle School was named in the threat which referenced the afternoon of May 14th.

I want to address a safety concern that has been brought to our attention. We are aware of and have been managing a situation with a social media post regarding a threat of harm to our school as have many schools across the state and country. We are saddened by the opportunistic nature of people taking advantage of the fear and anxiety generated by recent tragic events in Florida.

Following the incident at St. Helens High School yesterday, during which two students made verbal threats while being escorted from campus, the District chose to request some additional support from our local law enforcement today.
