Update Regarding Today’s Safety Event

Dear Longmont High Families,

Thank you for your patience and support during today’s Lockdown event. I know how frightening and concerning it can be anytime we have a safety concern in our community, and I am writing to share additional information about the issue that prompted the heightened security. 

This afternoon, we were notified of a potential weapon sighting in the vicinity of Longmont High School. Out of an abundance of caution, and in alignment with our protocols, we immediately went into Secure Status, however due to the potential proximity to the school, the Longmont Police Department initiated a Lockdown. This was done out of an abundance of caution while law enforcement investigated. The Lockdown was lifted once the Longmont Police Department confirmed that there was no safety issue. Additional information is available on the Longmont Department of Public Safety Facebook page .

Student safety is our highest priority and I would like to commend our students, staff, and teachers for following all safety protocols. I would also like to thank our law enforcement partners for their quick response. Our strong partnerships have a tremendous impact on supporting student safety and well-being. Should your student like to speak with a counselor regarding today’s events, please have them contact our school counseling staff. If you have any additional questions regarding today’s incident, please feel free to contact me directly at 303-776-6014.

Thank you,

Jeff McMurry

Principal, Longmont High School

Estimadas familias de Longmont High School,

Gracias por su paciencia y apoyo durante el evento “Cierre de emergencia” ( LOCKDOWN!) de hoy. Sé lo aterrador y preocupante que puede ser cada vez que tenemos un problema de seguridad en nuestra comunidad, y escribo para compartir información adicional sobre el problema que provocó el aumento de la seguridad.

Esta tarde, fuimos notificados de un posible avistamiento de armas en el área de Longmont High School. Por precaución, y en consonancia con nuestros protocolos, entramos inmediatamente en estado de “Proteger” ( SECURE!); sin embargo, debido a la posible proximidad a la escuela, el Departamento de Policía de Longmont inició el cierre. Esto se hizo por precaución mientras la policía investigaba. El cierre de emergencia se terminó una vez que el Departamento de Policía de Longmont confirmó que no había ningún problema de seguridad. Hay información adicional disponible en la  página de Facebook  del Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Longmont.

La seguridad de los estudiantes es nuestra máxima prioridad y me gustaría felicitar a nuestros estudiantes, personal y maestros por seguir todos los protocolos de seguridad. También me gustaría agradecer a nuestros socios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley por su rápida respuesta. Nuestras sólidas asociaciones tienen un tremendo impacto en el apoyo a la seguridad y el bienestar de los estudiantes. Si su estudiante desea hablar con un consejero sobre los eventos de hoy, pídale que se comunique con nuestro personal de orientación escolar (consejeros). Si tiene alguna pregunta adicional sobre el incidente de hoy, no dude en comunicarse conmigo directamente llamando al 303-776-6014.

Gracias,

Jeff McMurry

Director, Longmont High School.
