Parent Message From Penfield Superintendent
Parent Message From Penfield Superintendent
I want to address rumors and inaccurate information regarding Penfield High School
that were shared on Facebook today and forwarded to school officials. A screenshot of a
Snapchat photo was posted on a Facebook page, indicating that a gun was at school
today and that threats were made. This is simply not true. There was NO weapon in
school today and there were NO known verbal or written threats made
against the school.
We want to assure you that we take these issues very seriously and the student who
shared the original post has been disciplined in accordance with our Code of Conduct.
We understand that parents are concerned, especially in light of the social media trend
we alerted you to yesterday, but we ask for your patience and understanding as we
investigate reports. We also ask that you come to us with questions and concerns, so
that we can address them quickly and accurately.
Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to have ongoing conversation with
your students about appropriate use of social media.
