This week has seen an increase in threats against schools across the country. We are aware of these situations and are responding to issues on a local level. We have coordinated with the Gravette Police Department to provide extra security this week. We have no credible or specific threats against any of our schools. Our staff appreciates the support of our police, parents and community as we work together to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our students. Verifying the accuracy of shared information is a collective responsibility. Please look to the school district and police department for accurate information. Updates will be issued as new information becomes available.
