How to help with a social media generated rumor:
Dear Beaverton School District students, staff and parents/guardians,
A rumor about clowns making threats against students and staff has surfaced in the Beaverton School District. This is a social media generated rumor that started in August in South Carolina. The rumor is about individuals dressed as clowns coming to local schools to harm students. This rumor has surfaced across the country, mostly due to people reposting or sharing previous posts.
We are working with our law enforcement partners to monitor this issue locally and nationwide. Here are some steps you should take if you have a concern: If you see something, report it, don't spread it. Report your concerns immediately to law enforcement or your school administration. Your concerns will be taken seriously and handled promptly.
How to help your child:
• Reinforce that adults will do everything possible to keep them safe.
• Encourage your child to report their concerns to an adult. If they see suspicious behavior, report it.
• Listen to their concerns and ease their fears with facts and empathy.
• Look to trusted sources for information that is reliable. Social media is not the best source of information.
We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe. See it. Report it. Don't spread it.
