It has been brought to our attention that a FALSE message has been shared on Facebook about an intruder being in our school. This morning around 7:55am we had a Lockdown Drill to practice what to do just in case there ever is an intruder in our building. It is unfortunate that this miscommunication spread so quickly over social media and has frightened so many of our families.
In the event this had been a true Lockdown (Intruder in our building)--we wouldn't be able to answer the telephone because we would be making sure everyone is safe. However, once everyone is secured and there is an absence of threat from the outside a communication such as this would come from our district.
Again, everyone is safe and we are having a great morning here at Petersburg Primary School!
