Dupont Elementary Update

The following message was shared with out Dupont Community:
Dear Dupont Families,

We want to make you aware that this morning a student in one of the classrooms at Dupont told another student in the classroom that they had a gun in their bookbag. The teacher immediately separated the student from the class and involved security and other staff. There was a thorough search of the bookbag and all other belongings. No weapons of any kind were found. The student has been removed from school and additional steps are being pursued. We also involved the police.

Parents of students in the class where this occurred have already been contacted, but we wanted all parents to be aware of what occurred. There is no threat to the students or the school. Thank you for your partnership, understanding, and support during these challenging times.
