Here is a positive that we can focus on today! Teacher of the Week! PC 5th grade teacher Ms. Emily Stephenson. Such a beautiful article. https://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/education/teacher-of-the-week-emily-stephenson-fifth-grade-pine-crest-elementary-school-georgetown/article_ae830a2c-2609-5a81-936d-407da706f868.html
Dear Parents,
Pine Crest office received a shooting threat over the phone yesterday afternoon. The threat was reported to the Georgetown Police. Law enforcement investigated the shooting threat and I was notified last night that the caller was arrested. The person who made the threat is a parent who took issue that her child received a detention. I am deeply saddened that our staff member had to be on the receiving end of a shooting threat and excessive profanity. The safety of staff and students is paramount and threats of this nature will not be tolerated. I am thankful for the continual support of the Georgetown Police Department.
Sincerely,
Jean Neal, Superintendent

Dear Parents and Students,
A WCIA news report was just shared with me that an 11-year-old girl from Georgetown is safe after she was found near Indianapolis at the home of a 19-year-old male who she had been communicating with online. See the report at https://www.wcia.com/news/missing-georgetown-girl-found-safe/
I am so very thankful that the child has been located by law enforcement and is safe. I am thinking about our students return to school tomorrow and how this type of situation will undoubtedly be unsettling for all of us. The District has enacted our crisis plan and we will have counselors available at the buildings to support students and staff as needed. Please reach out to me at jneal@gobuffaloes.org or 217-662-8488 or your building administrator if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jean Neal, Superintendent
