Dear Families,
We are writing to update you on a situation that occurred on Friday, September 15, 2023. Per the request of local law enforcement, the Siren School District went into a soft lockdown in our building as police officers searched for a suspect in a reported homicide. As per law enforcement directive we did not send any communication surrounding this as it was, and is, an active police investigation.
We took this action out of an abundance of caution, and at no point was there a credible threat to student, or staff safety. Police in a neighboring town were later able to apprehend the suspect.
We have learned that the victim of the alleged homicide is the parent of several Siren School District students. We ask that we all keep the students and their family in our thoughts at this time. Counselors will also be available at our school to assist any student who may need help processing this devastating news.
If you would like more information on support available to students, please contact the Elementary School office at 715-349-2278, or the Middle/ High School office at 715-349-2277.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your attention to this update.
Sincerely,
Siren School District
Administrative Staff
