Dear Parents and Guardians:
We are aware of conversations that are happening in our community among students and families suggesting a possible threat to Key Middle School in connection with a situation that happened yesterday at Lewis High School. Please know that the safety of our students and staff is our number one priority. After a thorough investigation in cooperation with Lewis HS, FCPS Security, and the Fairfax County Police Department, we have determined that there was no reported or known threat to Key MS. We will always communicate with you should there be a situation at our school that requires your response.
To clear up any further misinformation, please see the message below that was sent last night to Lewis High School families:

Dear Families,
I wanted to follow up to my message this morning regarding the Schoology post that caused concern to our community. An investigation quickly identified the student responsible for the post and concluded that the student did not plan to act on the threat, and that there are no related safety concerns for our school. Appropriate disciplinary action is being taken.
We are thankful to all who reported this post to us. The safety of our students is our primary concern, and we will always investigate these incidents as soon as we are made aware. The first step that you should take if your child shares a safety concern with you is to contact authorities.
If your safety concern is an emergency, please call 911. FCPS Office of Safety and Security also has a safety tip line that you can access anonymously online, by text or by phone.
We look forward to seeing our Lancers tomorrow morning.
Please take the time to speak with your child about the seriousness of threats and the importance of reporting suspicious activities, threats or disturbing information to a trusted adult. Students also need to be reminded that they should not share rumors on social media. If they have concerns, they should speak to a trusted adult. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please call the school office.
I appreciate your continued support of a safe learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Drew Campbell
Principal | Key Middle School
