Plymouth High School - Letter to Parents

Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s),

The purpose of this letter is to explain an event that took place at Plymouth High School the afternoon of Wednesday, October 14, 2009.

Today, we had an uninvited visitor who refused to identify himself while repeatedly attempting to enter our building. Thanks to security measures and the awareness of our faculty, his attempts to enter the building were unsuccessful. The Plymouth Police were called immediately and the young man was peacefully apprehended.

Although the visitor to our building was not violent when spoken to, the fact that his clothing was torn and bloodied alarmed some of our students who saw him walking around the outside of the school from their classroom window.

At approximately 2:10, I addressed our student body and faculty and summarized today’s event with them. I informed our students that they are free to see me should they have any questions or concerns.

As we reflect on today’s event, it once again calls to mind the need for us to always maintain a safe environment at school. We encouraged our students to continue to work with us in making sure our doors are properly secured so that guests to our building although welcome can simultaneously be accounted for. Parents, please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,


James A. Condon, Principal
Plymouth High School
