​Dear parents/guardians and students,

This letter is to inform you that the Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB) notified the Chatham-Kent Police Service today (Friday, March 4) of an alleged threatening message referencing Wallaceburg District Secondary School. Messages like this are always concerning as we consistently prioritize your safety, and the safety of the school community.

The LKDSB and the school take alleged threats seriously and are cooperating with Chatham-Kent Police Service in its investigation. At approximately 1:30 p.m., students and staff were evacuated to a secondary location for dismissal and bus pick-up. Chatham-Kent Police Service is currently on-site.

In the interest of student and school safety, we would encourage you to continue to have conversations regarding school safety and any report issues to us and/or the police. Should you have any questions or concerns about your child, please contact the school.

Together, we will continue to support a safe school community.

Sincerely,
Melissa Mallette
Principal​
