Dear Parent/Guardian:

On Thursday afternoon, May 31, 2018, a student reported to a Mellon Middle School staff member they found the message, “I’m going to bomb the school” on a third floor restroom wall. The incident was immediately referred to the Mt. Lebanon Police Department.

After the initial threat assessment by the MLPD and school administration, it was deemed as non-specific and not to be a credible threat. Cooperation will continue with the Mt. Lebanon Police Department as they investigate this situation. The school intends to prosecute the responsible party to the fullest extent possible with school consequences and criminal charges.

I informed school staff, asked them to be aware of the situation and to immediately report any information they may receive in regard to the incident. Staff members have been asked to be extra visible and vigilant in the hallways and restrooms.

Student and staff safety is our number one priority. Should you hear any information that you feel may be relevant to our investigation, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Christopher Wolfson

Principal
