November 4, 2019

Attention Cumberland Valley High School parents and guardians:



This is Dr. Christopher, Superintendent of the Cumberland Valley School District.  Tonight, we are calling to make you aware that this afternoon it was brought to the attention of building administration that there was an anonymous message written on the wall of a bathroom stall in the Cumberland Valley High School. The message indicated the possibility of a threat at the school tomorrow, November 5, 2019. Building leadership took immediate action to notify Silver Spring Township Police and the District’s Director of Student and Public Safety, who together began an investigation. While the investigation is ongoing, we have received no information to substantiate the threat.



As is consistent with past practice, you are receiving this phone call to make you aware of the information that we know at this time. Additionally, we want to inform you that Silver Spring Township Police Department has ensured an increased presence in and around the high school tomorrow, November 5, 2019.



We all play a vital role in any school safety effort; it is the duty and responsibility of students, staff, and families to report any potential threats to the proper individuals. We appreciate the concern and help of the individuals who have taken this responsibility seriously by notifying the appropriate authorities of the message.



Thank you and have a good night.

Dr. David E. Christopher

Superintendent of Schools
