A Message from Wylie ISD and the Wylie Police Department
Consequences can range from school expulsion to possible felony charges that can follow your student for the rest of their life. Parents, please stress to your student the importance of not making threatening statements. It doesn’t matter if it’s a joke or something said in the heat of the moment. Any type of threat, whether it’s said directly, overheard by others nearby, posted on social media, or even written on the bathroom wall, can lead to serious school and legal consequences. While most threats are not legitimate, the best way to keep our campuses safe is to treat all threats seriously. We also ask that you remind your student that if they see or hear something, please say something. You and your student do not need to determine if the threat is credible; a thorough investigation will make the determination whether or not it is legitimate. But, we do need students and parents to report it. It takes all of us to keep our schools safe, and our top priority will always be the safety and security of students. If you or your student have information related to criminal activity, threats against a campus, bullying, or anything else you may have concerns about, you can always anonymously notify us via Tip411. However, if it’s an emergency, dial 911. Together, we can ensure our campuses remain a safe place where all students can thrive. We appreciate your ongoing support and partnership.
