Student Threats
The school will take all student threats seriously, including those from students that threaten to
inflict serious harm to themselves or others or to destroy property. Whoever hears or becomes
aware of any threat made by a student should immediately report it to the pastor, the principal,
or a teacher. The principal should notify the police and the Department of Catholic Schools
immediately.
The student who has made the threat should be kept in the school office under supervision
until the police arrive. The parents/guardians of the student who has made the threat will be
notified by the school. Any student or adult who has been identified as a potential victim, or
mentioned in writing as a potential victim, should be notified immediately.
The student who has made the threat shall be suspended until the police and school
investigation has been completed, and at that time the student may face other disciplinary
sanctions, up to and including removal from school.
The school will take all actions of a threatening nature seriously, including practical jokes or
offhand comments, and the school will investigate them. The school may suspend or remove a
student from school while the investigation is pending.
On a case-by-case basis, the pastor and principal will make any decision to re-admit a student
who has made a threat.
This student threat policy shall be communicated clearly to students, parents/guardians,
faculty, staff, and volunteers.
Practical jokes or offhand comments of a threatening nature will be taken seriously and will be
investigated. The police may be notified, and these actions may result in suspension or removal
of a student from school. (This wasn’t in the archdiocesan website, but thought you wanted to
keep it).
