Saints Community,
St. James Police Department is hosting a law enforcement training on Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 starting at 4 pm. The training will take place at the Armstrong School and the St. James Police Department. Please do not be alarmed by the amount of law enforcement personnel and squad cars present for this training exercise.
The Armstrong School will remain open until 6:00 PM. After that time, Armstrong School will be closed to the public for safety reasons. Law enforcement personnel will be the only people allowed in Armstrong School for the remainder of the night. This training will go into the nighttime hours, so again, please do not be alarmed by the presence of law enforcement at the Armstrong School or the St. James Police Department.

Saints,
Ayer, las Escuelas Públicas de St. James trabajaron con el Departamento de Policía de St. James y el condado de Watonwan en una amenaza en la que un estudiante decía que iba a traer un arma al partido de fútbol americano. Durante las entrevistas y el trabajo directo con la familia, se determinó que no era una amenaza creíble.
A última hora de la tarde de ayer, se realizó una publicación preocupante en las redes sociales. Los estudiantes nuevamente alertaron a la administración. Trabajamos directamente con el Departamento de Policía de St. James, el condado de Watonwan y la familia anoche y esta mañana para realizar entrevistas y evaluar la situación.
En este momento, sabemos que nuestras escuelas son seguras y esperamos con ansias un partido de fútbol americano seguro y emocionante esta noche. El Departamento de Policía de St. James y el condado de Watonwan serán visibles en la escuela y sus alrededores, así como durante el partido de fútbol. Queremos asegurarle que la seguridad y la protección son la máxima prioridad para todos. La persona involucrada no asistirá y trabajaremos con la familia en el futuro.
Quiero felicitar personalmente a nuestros estudiantes por alertar de inmediato a la administración y al resto del personal de la escuela para que pudiéramos reaccionar rápidamente.
Con orgullo Santos,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendente
