🌸OPEN🌸

Dear Waldron Spartan Parents/Guardians,
During a hard lockdown or soft lockdown event, we will send out information that we can share as soon as we can. Thank you!
*FREE SPORTS PHYSICALS* Thank you to our Waldron Athletic Boosters for providing free sports physicals to our students on Wednesday, May 17 from 12:00-4:00pm at the school. This will be free to any Waldron student wanting to play a sport during the 2023-2024 school year. A physical form will need to be filled out prior to the student's appointment by their parent/guardian. The forms are located in the main office.
*TRANSPORTATION* The varsity softball and baseball teams will need to self-transport to their game at Camden tomorrow, Thursday, May 4. The coaches are working with the players to ensure everyone has a ride. Please contact coaches if you have any questions.
*DRILL* We had a scheduled hard lockdown drill today. The county sheriff said the staff and students did a great job with the drill. We are very proud of our students and staff.
*GAMES CANCELLED AND RESCHEDULED* The baseball and softball games scheduled for today have been cancelled. The games will be made up on Thursday. On Friday, there will be no baseball games but we will have a single game for softball at home starting at 4:30pm.
MS track meet has also been cancelled for today and rescheduled for Thursday at Pittsford starting at 4:30pm.
Yesterday Waldron Area Schools went into a hard lockdown. Here are the events leading up to the lockdown:
A student was in the office as a result of allegations of inappropriate behavior. While in the office area and in the presence of the discipline team, the student’s behavior escalated to a point where he became a danger to himself. The hard lockdown was initiated out of an abundance of caution. No other students were in the office and no other students were in danger.
Also, we understand that some parents/guardians did not receive the notice of the hard lockdown. We are working with the Hillsdale County 911 system to make sure that does not happen in the future.
