Dear Sunland Parents and Guardians,

 We want to share that earlier today, police were present on campus to assist with a student situation. They worked in partnership with the student’s family to provide support and ensure the student received appropriate care. At no time was there any threat to the safety of our students or staff. The situation was managed calmly, respectfully, and with the well-being of everyone in mind. We understand that seeing emergency personnel on campus can be concerning, and we want to reassure you that student safety remains our highest priority. We appreciate your continued trust and partnership as we support all members of our school community. 

 Sincerely, Ms. Beechum 
Sunland STEAM Academy
