Dear Trix Academy Parents and Families,
Thank you for being a part of the Trix Academy family. Trix and Phalen Leadership Academies (PLA) are committed to the safety and education of our students. We also value transparency and want to clearly communicate about safety issues when they arise.
This letter is to inform of a situation that occurred today regarding Trix. School leadership received notification from scholars that identified a social media webpage called “Trix bustdown3.” According to scholars, a post that has since been removed from the page, mentioned a possible threat involving a firearm. The post is no longer on the webpage and leadership is taking steps to acquire an image of the original post.
This prompted an immediate response from the leadership team in accordance with their safety procedures and guidelines. Although Trix does not believe this is a credible threat, local law enforcement has been contacted out of an abundance of caution.
Trix and Phalen Leadership Academies (PLA) team members are working to further assess and address this incident. If it is determined that scholars were involved in the incident, they will be subject to disciplinary action pursuant to School Board policies and regulations.
No other details are available at this time, however we encourage you to please take this opportunity to talk to your child about getting assistance from an adult if they see an incident or hear something that could potentially bring harm to another person.
Though Trix works diligently to create a safe community for scholars and staff, unfortunately no school is immune to the brokenness in society, which can cause fear, mistrust, and anxiety.
Despite this, Trix commits to communicating transparently and quickly about all school safety matters.
I want to assure you that the safety of our scholars and staff is always our top priority at Trix. Please feel free to contact my office via email at l.perkins@mecc-academies.org or call313.426.1020 if you have any questions and/or concerns.
Yours In Service,
Luvenia Perkins
Principal
