Through quality education our students will achieve personal success
The Telluride School District will support all students in striving for their highest potential through quality academics while addressing individual needs within a safe and healthy community.
Dear TSD Families and Community,
I hope you are all surviving another snowy week. I also want to thank all of you who took the time to attend conferences today as well as Telluride Education Foundation and the families who brought in lunch for our staff.
I write this message to inform you that we were notified of additional swatting threats to school districts in Colorado today. We did not receive any calls to our own district phones or our local law enforcement dispatch, but our Marshal’s were notified during the day that calls were going to dispatch’s in other parts of the state that were very similar to last week’s calls. We increased our vigilance for the remainder of the day, and felt it was important you were made aware that this happened.
As a follow-up to what I shared last week from Boulder Valley School District, I am attaching the Standard Reunification Parent Handout and summarizing below the steps we would take if a Reunification were required:
- We will notify you that we will initiate Reunification, where it will happen, and when it will start.
- We will direct you on who should come to the Reunification site, where to park, and what to bring with you i.e.; (identification).
- We will direct you on what to do if you are are unable to come and pick up your student(s) at this time.
- We will direct you on what NOT to do and where NOT to go (i.e.; DO NOT COME TO THE SCHOOL).
- We will address as much as possible what the next steps will be in terms of moving back toward normal operation.
I am sorry that I am communicating on this topic again, but I hope you understand the importance and necessity of keeping you informed.
Sincerely,
John Pandolfo
Superintendent
