This week is Red Ribbon Week. Parents--Did you know that children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don't; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations. Red Ribbon Week, the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. This year's theme is Drug Free Looks Like ME! Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs. The life you save may be that of your own child or a dear friend!

The safety of our students is a priority of WCC and we want to share some information with our parents. Late Friday evening we became aware of a Snapchat post that was circulating on the internet. This post included a shooting threat to a “Central” High School. The threat did NOT mention us specifically nor mention a particular date. Since we weren’t sure what school was actually threatened, we contacted local law enforcement and they have been working all weekend to trace this post. The FBI is working with Snapchat to attempt to find the owner of this account. We will have additional police presence on campus as a special precaution due to this threat. We will continue to work with law enforcement in finding the perpetrator of this post whether it was in reference to us or another “Central” High School. We appreciate your understanding as we deal with this situation and will keep you updated as we obtain further information.

Again per data from ACHI, White County Central will have a mask optional policy for the week beginning October 25, 2021.
