The Goodman-Armstrong Creek School District has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on social media. The post refers to a threat to school safety for every school in the USA including elementary buildings for tomorrow, Friday, December 17. This trend did not originate in our school district, but appears to be circulating nationwide. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously. Additionally, the district has been in contact with the Marinette County Sheriff’s Department regarding the post. We may have police visit our building on Friday as an additional precaution. These types of threats, even if they are not credible, can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask you to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online. If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away. Individuals can always report suspicious behavior to the Marinette County Dispatch at 715-732-7627 or the Forest County Dispatch at 715-478-3331. In an emergency you may simply dial 911. As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students. Sincerely, Mrs. Wysocki
