Students waiting for pickup will be in the portables. You can use the loop for pickup. Any missed finals will be made up later this week. Student safety and well-being is our top priority.

Nathan Hale High School, also in northeast Seattle, called Police about a person with a weapon on June 10th, This happened during basketball, football and cheerleading practices. It was reported all the students were rushed into the locker room for over an hour for a lockdown.
The Principal sent out this information:
Dear Nathan Hale Families:
Late this afternoon, well after students were dismissed, a staff member called 911 due to a concerning situation of an individual on campus with a weapon. The school went into lockdown to protect those still in the building. Police arrived and the suspect was quickly arrested. After being notified by police that the situation was safe, the lockdown was lifted and staff and students still in the building were released from the lockdown.
Since police confirmed the situation is resolved and the area is safe, all events in the building that were scheduled for this evening will continue as planned.
Thank you,

The Principal sent out this information:
Dear Nathan Hale parents and guardians:
This is to share information and the resolution of a situation that has caused concern among some of our students and families.
All questions of school safety and security are investigated in accordance with SPS protocols and SPS protocols. Today, that included enhanced security and police presence on campus.
A social media post made by a student was interpreted by other students to constitute a threat to school safety. A thorough investigation involving the Seattle Police Department and SPS central office took place. It was determined that the post did not contain a school safety threat. It was not intended by the student in any way to cause harm or be a threat of harm.
With the investigation complete and no threat found, we continued our planned school day and assembly confident that our students and staff were safe
Yesterday, our school Shelter-in-Place was the result of a medical emergency to allow emergency staff quick access to the building, and not a security issue. We followed up the Shelter-in-Place with a message for families, and this is what we are doing today with the social media concern. We will communicate with you in a timely manner at the point we have information to share.
Please know the safety of our school community is our highest priority at all times.
Thank you,
William Jackson, Ed.D. (he,him) Principal Nathan Hale High School
