Dear Seahawk Parents and Community,
It is believed some type of aerosol was apparently
discharged in the hallway in the vicinity of the library this morning which
prompted us to evacuate the building. As a precaution, five students and
one teacher were taken to Reston Hospital for treatment. They have all
been released. Others affected by the spray were
treated at the scene. The fire department quickly responded and we were
allowed to return to the building about 50 minutes later to resume normal
operations. The fire department and hazmat team determined that the odor
was not related to our on-going construction.
My office, with the assistance of a SRO and the FCPS Office
of Safety & Security, is conducting a thorough investigation of this
incident to identify the individual or individuals responsible.
Appropriate disciplinary consequences will be assigned in response to this very
serious event and criminal charges are also a possibility.
I want to
commend students and staff for their cooperation during this incident.
The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority and we will continue to be
diligent in our efforts to provide a safe learning environment.
Thank you for your support and understanding. If you have
any additional questions, feel free to contact the school.
Kim Retzer
Principal
