Dear Timberview Parents and Guardians,

In an effort to keep you fully informed we want you to know that an incident occurred
today in which one of our students brought a firearm to school in his backpack. The
student never directly threatened any other student or staff member with it nor was it
ever removed from the students backpack.

TMS Security immediately responded, secured the firearm, and the matter was turned
over to the Fort Worth Police Department.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that at no time are any type of weapons,
or anything resembling a weapon allowed at our school or on any Keller ISD campus. Carrying
a weapon onto school grounds is a violation of the Keller ISD Code of Conduct in addition to
state law. I would encourage you to talk about this situation with your student, reminding him or
her that there is no place for a weapon in the educational environment and the consequences
for violating these laws are very serious and could result in criminal charges being filed.

At Keller ISD, maintaining a safe learning environment for our students is our top priority. If you
have additional concerns or questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Carrie Jackson
Principal

Our vision: An exceptional district in which to learn, work, and live.
