“We know the increase in violence in our community has raised concerns for students, families, and staff,” Principal Hart wrote. “Please know that I take safety in our buildings very seriously. I will be sending families and staff an update as soon as possible.”late Thursday by the principal, classes instead will be held remotely with a two-hour late start.
In addition, all after-school, evening, and weekend district or school activities scheduled for the Garfield campus have been canceled, and the Teen Life Center will also be closed.
