Southwest Update Mid-Day Message to Stduents, Parents, & Community

Message to families

Good morning, this is Bill Smith, principal at Southwest High School. I am calling with an update to the threat we received last night to our school community.

We learned about a credible threat yesterday evening and took deliberate and appropriate action to cancel school. We can confirm that it was a bomb threat specific to Southwest High School. We are unable to share additional details because of the ongoing police investigation.

The Minneapolis Police conducted a walk through of the school and no unsafe materials were found. We will welcome students and staff back to school tomorrow, Jan. 29 for a regular school day.

There are serious consequences for individuals who make threats to our students and schools. We will cooperate with Minneapolis Police to ensure that any individuals are held responsible for their actions.

Again, this is Bill Smith, principal of Southwest High School. I’m calling to share that no unsafe materials were found in our building, and students are welcome back tomorrow, Jan. 29.
