Watson Families,
Watson values you as partners in your children’s education and in the spirit of transparency, I want to make you aware of an incident that occurred after school yesterday. After learning of a custody dispute, we took a proactive stance to ensure the safety of the campus by promptly contacting our Safety and Security team and Little Rock Police as a precaution in the event the non-custodial parent showed up.
When the parent arrived, police took immediate action and successfully took her into custody. The subsequent investigation revealed that there were weapons in the parent's vehicle. At no time did the parent threaten anyone; however, the incident is now a police matter. We are grateful for the presence of security and for the professionalism and efficiency displayed by the police. We also commend our staff for their quick thinking and commitment to the safety of our school community.
We believe this was an isolated incident but will remain vigilant in our protocols. It takes all of us working together to ensure safe schools and we appreciate the support you provide our school daily. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to the school administration.
Sincerely,
Christopher Jackson
Principal
