Dear families, As you have likely heard, today several SD43 schools received phone-in threats. As a result, a number of schools were placed in a Hold and Secure under the advisement of police (RCMP and Port Moody). A Hold and Secure involves keeping students in classrooms while securing the school. All sites have been safely cleared by RCMP or Port Moody Police, to release students at their regularly scheduled dismissal time.
The district is appreciative of our close relationship with RCMP and Port Moody Police. At no time were students and staff in danger but students and staff should be commended for their cooperation and calm in a potentially stressful situation.
