Out of an abundance of caution, Sleepy Eye Public Schools and St. Mary’s Catholic School are entering a Soft Lockdown for the remainder of the day today.
Key Information:
- Reason: The Sleepy Eye Police Department notified administration from both school systems of an online TikTok post referencing a threat toward Sleepy Eye students.
- Threat Assessment: Police Chief Andres has determined this is a non-credible threat, but we are implementing these safety measures as an extra precaution.
- Police Presence: An increased police presence will remain in and around school grounds for the rest of the day.
- Campus Status: No visitors will be allowed on campus at either school today.
- Evening Activities: All evening school activities, events, and practices for both schools are canceled today.
- Student Safety: All students are safe inside their classrooms, and learning activities are continuing indoors under heightened security.
We will share additional updates as necessary. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in keeping our entire school community safe.
