Dear Roosevelt School District Parent(s)/Guardian(s), The safety of our students and staff is always our priority. We want to inform you that we have been made aware of messages that are circulating nationally among students through text message and social media that is threatening in nature. Similar messages and social media posts have recently been reported in districts across the country. We are aware of a few of our students who reported receiving messages. However, there have been no confirmed threats against any of our schools. We take all reports and concerns very seriously. We are in communication with Phoenix Police regarding this matter and they indicated that there is no imminent threat towards any of our schools. We are sharing this information with you in case your child hears about this or receives the message. We want to remind everyone that we take all threats seriously. We encourage parents and guardians to have open conversations with their children about the severity of making or sharing threats. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we remain fully committed to maintaining a secure and supportive environment for all. Should you or your child ever have concerns or learn of information you think is relevant to school safety, please contact your school’s front office and law enforcement. Support from our counselors and social workers is always available for students who may have concerns. Thank you for your support and understanding, Roosevelt School District
