Minneapolis Southwest High School Closed Wednesday January 28

SchoolMessenger to families

Good evening, this is Bill Smith, principal of Southwest High School. This is an urgent message for families of Southwest.

School will be closed tomorrow, January 28, for students at Southwest because we received a CREDIBLE threat to the school community. The Minneapolis Police Department is responding to the incident. The safety of students and staff is paramount, which is why we made the decision to close.

This closure affects all Southwest High School events, including community education classes, athletics events and all extracurricular activities. All other MPS schools will remain open.

Students are encouraged to participate in classroom discussions and do coursework online as much as possible tomorrow.

The safety and security of our students is a top priority. We will continue to update families with more information as it is available.

Again, this is Bill Smith calling to let you know that Southwest High School will be closed tomorrow, January 28.
