March 28th, 2018

On the evening of March 20, our staff was made aware of some graffiti inside the school property that was threatening in nature and made reference to an act of violence. The threat was reported to the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) and is still being investigated. We continue to work closely and cooperatively with our police partners to determine the author of the message.

We acknowledge that this is a stressful time and share your concern for our students’ and staff safety and well-being. Please know we are doing everything we can to make sure our school environment remains safe for learning. We appreciate the feedback you have provided us and we value your input and concerns.

We want to repeat the statements from our board that it is unacceptable to make threats towards anyone. We take any threat of violence, verbal or written, very seriously. The safety, security, and well-being of our students and staff remains a top priority. We continue to welcome our students and staff with all regular classes and extra-curricular activities running as scheduled.

Waterloo Region District School Board and WRPS continue to take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call police at 519-570-9777 ext. 4421 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Additionally, please feel free to call the Huron Heights Administration at 519-896-2631 with any questions or concerns you may have.

Sincerely,

Jeff Klinck, Principal
