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.

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.

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.
