Lock Down

Parent / Guardian,

Thank you for your cooperation this morning during the schools lock down.  At approximately 7:20 am local law enforcement notified the school of a fugitive in the general area.  Although law enforcement does not believe the fugitive was ever near campus, we felt it prudent to lock down the campus as a precautionary measure pending further information.  At 8:05 am local law enforcement advised that it was appropriate to cancel the lock down and resume normal activities.  As always, our students’ safety remains our top priority. 

Again, thank you for your time and patience in this unusual situation.

I can be reached at 918-266-7227 or mpayne@vps.k12.ok.us for additional information.

United for Education,

Mike Payne

Superintendent,

Verdigris Public Schools
