PINE HOLLOW MIDDLE SCHOOL
Tuesday, September 25, 2018
Dear Pine Hollow Parents,
Last week was a challenging week with the threats at Clayton Valley Charter and Diablo View Middle School. Although there was no threat to our site, the reports certainly caused anxiety among many of our students, staff, and parents. Whenever things like this occur, I will do my best to communicate early and often so that you are informed about what's going on. Please make sure you are signed up to receive text alerts and are following the PTSA page on Facebook to get faster updates.
As for our site safety, our administration and counseling team work with the district and local police departments to ensure that we are following best practices to keep our students safe. We have locked perimeter gates and doors on campus, and are examining our fencing and cameras on site to ensure they meet our needs. We do regular emergency drills with our students and staff, and are continually working to improve our safety protocols and procedures. Our staff also works extremely hard to build relationships with students so that they feel comfortable coming to talk to us about issues they are hearing about or seeing. Thank you for your support and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Best,
Ben Campopiano
Principal, Pine Hollow Middle School
(925) 672-5444 x5500
