September 17, 2024 Dear Tiger Families, We wanted to provide an update regarding the threatening messages we had received. A suspect was quickly identified during the course of the investigation. This suspect has been detained and is facing serious charges. Please know that we will continue to cooperate with the authorities to ensure that anyone who makes a threat against our schools or campuses will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We want to thank you for your patience over the last few days as we worked with local law enforcement. We understand the desire for immediate information in these types of situations. However, to protect the integrity of the criminal investigation and potential prosecution, we are limited in the details that we can provide. We are grateful to our School Resource Officers (SRO), the Cape Girardeau Police Department, and local agents from the FBI for their collaboration in keeping our students and schools safe. School safety is a team effort, and we are asking our families for your help. If you or your student become aware of any type of a threat that involves school property or the school bus, please report it to Courage2Report, Missouri’s official reporting mechanism. You can report a threat by calling 1-866-748-7047 toll free, or by texting “C2R” to 738477 to receive a link to an anonymous tip form. You can also report a threat by reaching out directly to your school’s administrator. In addition to reporting any threatening messages or suspicious activity, please talk to your children about the importance of using social media in a responsible manner. Thank you for your continued support. -CGPS

Sunday, September 15, 2024 Dear Tiger Families, We have been made aware of a social media post that includes threatening language along with a list of local schools. We have been in contact with our school resource officers, law enforcement, and administrators from many local schools. You will likely see an increased police presence on our campuses tomorrow as a precaution. We would like to take a moment to commend the student who shared this post with administrators, which is exactly what students or families should do when made aware of similar social media posts or messages. As we stated last week, we take all threats very seriously and the individual or individuals responsible will face very serious consequences. If you or your student become aware of any type of a threat that involves school property or the school bus, please report it to Courage2Report, the state of Missouri’s official reporting mechanism. You can report a threat by calling 1-866-748-7047 toll free, or by texting “C2R” to 738477 to receive a link to an anonymous tip form. You can also report a threat by reaching out directly to your school’s administrator. We apologize for having to reach out to you over the weekend but wanted to make you aware of this situation and share the information we had at this time. Should we receive any more details, we will be sure to update you. Thank you for your time. CGPS

September 13, 2024 - UPDATE Dear Tiger Families, We wanted to follow up with more information after the message that we sent you earlier this morning. After an investigation by the Cape Police Department and our School Resource Officers (SRO) it has been determined there is no credible threat against our high school or any of our schools or campuses at this time. Still, extra security will remain throughout the day across the District. All threatening messages will always be taken seriously, immediately reported to local law enforcement, and will be thoroughly investigated. All extra-curricular activities including sports will go on as scheduled. Please remember that our new security protocols are in place for football games and events where large crowds are expected. We sent that information to you on Wednesday. Please refer to that message for more detailed information. We would like to thank you for your patience as we worked with local law enforcement and our SROs to investigate this matter. We would like to humbly ask for your help in stressing to your children the seriousness of making threats against a school or public agency. The individual or individuals found responsible will face legal consequences. Please also encourage your children to report posts like these and to not share them. A number of schools in our region and across the nation have dealt with similar threats over the last two days. We have been in communication with several of those schools. We all need the help of our communities as we continue to deal with similar situations. Additionally, we encourage our families to familiarize themselves with social media apps and consider how to appropriately monitor your child’s social media accounts. If you need help getting started, visit the resources on our Family Hub on capetigers.com. Thank you for your help in keeping our school campuses safe. -CGPS

September 13, 2024 Dear Tiger Families, We have been made aware of a social media post with a threatening message directed at our high school. The Cape Police Department and our School Resource Officers are currently investigating. Because our students at the high school go through weapons detection each morning, it was determined that our students are safer being held in the building at this time. Cape PD will also be providing extra support to us throughout the District, and will have a presence at other CGPS buildings and campuses. Unfortunately, other schools around the area and nation are experiencing similar threats. We are committed to ensuring that our buildings and campuses are safe, and will continue to take any message containing threatening language very seriously. The individual or individuals responsible will face serious charges. We will keep you updated as we receive more information. Thank you for your time and attention to this message. -CGPS
