“Dear Hill Parents and Staff, Safety continues to be my top priority, which is why I am writing to inform you of a situation involving our school,” the letter reads. “We have recently been made aware of social media posts that contain language that resembles a potential threat to a staff member. We take all potential threats seriously to ensure the safety of our school community.”
