Whitefish Township Community Schools Enters Secure Mode as Precautionary Measure
We want to make families aware that today, Whitefish Township Community Schools entered SECURE status due to a law enforcement situation occurring within the surrounding community.
Out of an abundance of caution and on the recommendation of the Sheriff’s Office, we initiated our Secure protocol. During a Secure, all students and staff remain safely inside the building, exterior doors are locked, and normal activities continue inside the school.
At no time was there a threat inside our school, nor were our students or staff believed to be in immediate danger. This precaution was taken to ensure everyone remained safely inside while law enforcement handled the situation in the community.
We understand that situations like this can be concerning for families. Please know that the safety of our students and staff is always our highest priority, and we will continue to follow the guidance of law enforcement and our established safety procedures.
We appreciate the cooperation of our students and staff and the understanding of our families.
Secure Mode was lifted once officials confirmed it was safe to do so.
For further updates or questions, please contact Superintendent, Vincent Gross.
