Jet Community,
USD 387 Altoona-Midway is aware of a current social media trend that lists Altoona-Midway as a potential school district as a target for a school shooting along with several other school districts across Kansas and the Nation. The Wilson County Sheriff's Department has been notified and is investigating.
Regardless of the nature of these threats, USD 387 is committed to the safety and well-being of all students within our community. The football game scheduled for tonight, September 13th, 2024, between AMHS and Burrton HS will take place as scheduled at 6 PM. As a precaution, USD 369 and USD 387 administration will be present. Additionally, Wilson County Sherrif’s department will be alert and send deputies to monitor as they are available.
As a reminder, weapons of any kind are not allowed on the school campus or at any school activity. Do not bring weapons with you to campus. We ask that you be vigilant and report anything concerning to the administration or staff present.
We will update the community if we have any further information but as of right now, investigators believe this threat is not credible.
If your MS/HS student is sick or does not attend the fair field trip on Monday, Sept 9th make sure to call the office to excuse their absence. This is an educational school field trip that is going to be used in both ELA and Ag classes. Any MS/HS student who does not attend will not be allowed to attend sports practice as outlined in the student handbook.
