Dear Rainier Beach families,

Yesterday, a threat to our school made it necessary to close today. The threats were made by an individual who is not a Rainier Beach student and has been identified by the police.

There is an active investigation by Seattle Police Department (SPD). Rainier Beach staff and SPS Safety and Security are cooperating with the police investigation.

Looking ahead for tomorrow鈥檚 school day, my team is putting additional security measures in place.

School safety precautions include:

  • SPS Safety and Security staff will be providing additional security
  • Rainier Beach staff will be high visible as students are entering the building

We will monitor and reassess these precautions as needed.

I am looking forward to seeing our students and staff tomorrow! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
