Sample letter: Weapon at school

Date

Dear Parents,

I am writing to inform you of an incident that occurred in one of our schools. It came to our attention that a student brought ( a weapon ) to school. Because of privacy laws protecting students, I cannot go into more detail except to say that the student who brought the (weapon) to school has been disciplined according to school policy. The safety and welfare of all of our students is a top priority in our school district, and we take all reports pertaining to school security very seriously. Upon learning about the (weapon) being brought to school, we immediately took action to recover and contacted the (local law enforcement agency).

Thank you for your continued support of the students in (your school district).

Sincerely,

Name Superintendent School District
