The following message is being sent to Cumberland Valley High School parents/guardians via automated telephone call. The message will also be sent districtwide via CV e-news.


Attention CV High School parents and guardians:

Safety of our students and staff is of paramount priority. To that end, 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 High School. The message indicated the possibility of a threat at the school on January 10, 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 as we want to make parents and guardians aware of all 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, January 10, 2019.

We all play a vital role in any school-wide 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.

We will issue future updates should there be a change in information that would necessitate we do as such. This will allow your family to base any decision that you must make on fact rather than on rumors that are often spread through social media.

Rest assured, safety is our first priority, today and always.

Thank you.

Frederick S. Withum III, Ed.D.
Superintendent
