An unfortunate and thoughtless prank was investigated at Stearns today. A concerning message was discovered written on a wall at school. After a thorough investigation, as well as notifying our area Police Department, it was determined to be a noncreditable prank.
Please be assured that we take all concerns of this nature very seriously. The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority, and we are committed to conducting thorough investigations and enforcing our code of conduct.
We encourage all parents and guardians to speak with their child(ren) about the importance of being mindful of their words. Even casual remarks can be easily misunderstood and cause unnecessary concern.
2 hour delay today, March 7, 2025.
