Dear Parents, Our student body met today to debrief today’s events in school. The Wiscasset Police Department, Teachers, Administration, and our counselor were all on hand to answer questions regarding the lockdown. Our students and staff continue to give us feedback that will help inform our response to ensure everyones safety in a real emergency. Below is the press release from the Wiscasset Police Department: “This morning multiple hoax calls of active shooter threats have been made at schools throughout the state, including the Wiscasset Middle High School. Wiscasset Police are working with the schools to ensure the continued safety of our students and community. Again, there are NO credible threats at this time. The Maine State Police have been assisting local law enforcement agencies with these initial investigations and the Maine Information Analysis Center (MIAC) is heavily involved in coordinating these investigations.” The safety and welfare of all students and staff is our primary responsibility.
