Dear Germantown School District Families,
We are writing to alert you of a situation that came to our attention this morning. A citizen vehicle was reported parked on Friestadt Rd, and suspicious behavior was reported to the Germantown Police Department. The Germantown Police Department advised both Kennedy Middle School and MacArthur Elementary to go into a HOLD as a precaution at this time. The HOLD will be in place until GTPD gives us the green light to resume classes as scheduled. GTPD Officers are in the area actively investigating the report.
We want to assure our families that every precaution is being taken to ensure the school is safe for students and staff. While the GTPD investigates this matter, we ask that you do not drive to your child’s school, as the buildings are on HOLD.
We will provide an update when GTPD provides us with more information.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Reuter
Germantown School District
Superintendent
