Original Message
Dear Oakwood Families,
This evening we were notified by College Station Police about a report that was made regarding rumors of a gun being brought to school tomorrow. I want to assure you that we are working closely with CSPD to investigate the situation and will provide additional information as they conclude their investigation.
Please take this opportunity to speak to your children and remind them that making a threat against a district, school or individual is a serious offense and will not be tolerated. Whether it’s meant to be a joke, or said out of anger, we take threatening comments/actions seriously and work closely with law enforcement to investigate and take appropriate action.
Students, staff and parents should report any safety concerns to school administration or use the P3 Anonymous Reporting platform on the homepage of our website.
Please know that student safety is our top priority and we work diligently to ensure all students are safe on our campus.

Dear Oakwood Families,
College Station Police are continuing to investigate rumors mentioned in my previous email. No corroborating evidence of a credible threat to the school has been identified. Out of an abundance of caution, CSPD has informed us that additional officers will be by the school today to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
I will share additional information as it is available.
Respectfully,
Rocco Grande
