Dear Parents and Guardians,
Today, we were made aware of a parent that posed a possible threat. Once we were made aware of the threat we went on a Soft Lockdown.
Law Enforcement spent the afternoon at our school, and prior to dismissal they were able to apprehend the individual.
We take all threats seriously as the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Again, the issue was resolved prior to dismissal, and we would like to thank the Champaign County Sheriffs Office, and everyone who had a part in quickly resolving this situation.
Sincerely,
Bonnie McArthur
Superintendent
Thomasboro Grade School
Remember, fundraiser order forms are due tomorrow! Please turn the forms and money into your child’s teacher!
Flag football practice has been canceled for tonight.
