We have recently been made aware of rumors circulating regarding a social media post. There is NO direct threat to Bunker School. The social media (Tik-Tok) post circulating Wednesday was not found to be specific to any school.
As always, the safety of our students and staff is always a top priority.
Our administrative team will remain in contact with local law enforcement to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
As a reminder, threats of any kind are turned over to law enforcement for investigation and may result in serious consequences. Parents and guardians, we ask you to stay vigilant toward your child’s online activities. Please encourage students to say something if they see something of concern. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Melissa Nash, Superintendent.
Congrats to Eden Mack for being accepted to Mineral Area College Go Do Big Things!! #EaglePride
