Good evening Comet families. I wanted to make you aware of a situation that occurred earlier today. There was a chase involving the police and the suspect dumped the car next to the high school. The police did a sweep of the inside of the high school and found no one. In an abundance of caution, they will be there tomorrow morning as well. We want to thank the police department for their efforts in keeping our schools safe. Have a good evening.
