Attention parents and guardians of Ravenswood Middle School students...Following reports from Ravenswood Law Enforcement over the weekend, district officials were notified there had been an investigation that did not immediately involve the school. However, after gathering further information it was discovered that a threat towards an INDIVIDUAL was made. Following this threat within our school community, proper safety protocols were followed to address the situation and ensure safety for the individual and all our students. At the conclusion of the investigation, it was determined that AT NO TIME WERE OUR STUDENTS OR STAFF AT RISK OR IN DANGER.

We understand that situations like this can cause concern. Please know that we take every threat seriously, and protecting our students remains our highest priority. To respect the privacy of those involved, we cannot share individual details.

Thank you for your support and cooperation. We encourage everyone to report concerns directly to school administration and avoid sharing unverified information. Working together helps us maintain a safe, supportive environment for every student. Thank you.

Attention Ravenswood Middle School parents and guardians.. This evening students alerted administration of a potential safety concern in our school. An investigation by the school administration and our PROs began promptly. Safety protocols are being followed according to Jackson County Board Policy and WV State Law.

At this time there is no threat to the safety of our staff and/or students regarding this evening’s report. We are very proud of our students for making the report. This is an excellent example of students following our school training of alerting an adult to potential safety concerns.

Picture Day
This coming Friday, students will participate in several age-appropriate safety and prevention trainings required by the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE). These overviews address important—and sometimes sensitive—topics, including:

• Suicide prevention and awareness
• Self-harm prevention
• Body safety and personal-safety education
• Active-shooter and emergency preparedness
• Fentanyl and substance-use prevention

These trainings are intended to provide students with developmentally appropriate information, help them recognize warning signs, encourage safe decision-making, and ensure they know how to seek help from a trusted adult.

We understand that some families may have questions or concerns about these topics. Please remember that these instructional overviews are required under WVDE policy and are presented with care and sensitivity. If you have questions about the content or how a particular training will be delivered, please contact the school.

Thank you for partnering with us as we work to keep our students informed, supported, and safe.
