Dear Parents and Staff,

As of 1:00 PM, Nevada Union High School has lifted the shelter in place. All students and staff have been released to go to lunch. Law Enforcement was able to process all concerns that came forward through rumors and social media. Again, this threat occurred this morning due to a social media post. Despite rumors, there were no weapons involved and all students and staff are safe.

Social media rumors create challenges as we work through these situations. Students and staff were safe throughout this process, but I do realize these situations cause fear and anxiety. Please have students reach out to their school counselor or other staff adults for support as needed. We have many resources and supports on campus to address students and staff in need. I would like to give a huge thank you and appreciation to the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department for their response, diligence, and professionalism in this situation.

Thank you for your patience.

Kelly Rhoden, Principal
NEVADA UNION HIGH SCHOOL
