Brimley Area Schools

Dear Brimley Area Schools Family: Today, we were notified by the Michigan State Police through the Critical Infrastructure Protection Desk that there were several “swatting” calls targeting K-12 schools around the state. The calls were received in Detroit, Jackson, Ann Arbor, and Okemos. The “swatting” calls were reporting that there was an active shooter in the building. Below you will find the letter for your review. Brimley Area Schools has NOT received any such call. If our district does receive a call, we will notify Central Dispatch and put our district in secure mode to investigate the credibility of the call. We will always take the safety of our students, faculty and staff seriously when such threats or reports are being made. Again, there has been no calls made to our district.

We had a wonderfully kind family donate a box of brand new baby food items to The Tack Room. If some of this would be of help to your family, please contact Mrs. McLean to pick some up! (906) 248-3218 ext 114

Please see the flyer about an upcoming fun night hosted by NHS.
