Dear YWA Community,

I am writing to you to address the spread of misinformation that is causing concern in our community.

There were reports of a non-credible threat to our campus that were thoroughly investigated and found to be unsubstantiated pose no danger.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our highest priorities and our school day and regulard instruction is continuing as scheduled. We want to thank the people who brought this to our attention, as we always encourage our community to 'See Something, Say Something.'

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.
