Information Regarding Incident at Tom McCall Upper Elementary -- October 5, 2022

Dear Tom McCall Upper Elementary School Families,


The purpose of this communication is to inform parents and staff at Tom McCall Upper Elementary School of the lock out situation that took place this afternoon and how the school and district responded. At no time were students or staff in any danger.   


Three students, from a specialized program that is located at Tom McCall but has no internal school access, damaged school property by breaking two windows and refused to return to their program. As a precaution, Tom McCall East and West campuses were placed into a lock-out for approximately 30 minutes. Law Enforcement and school administrators responded to the incident to provide support and the three students returned to their program prior to dismissal time.


Student safety is always our highest priority. We are grateful that we were able to resolve the situation quickly and effectively.
