Bus Stop Event

Bus Stop Event- TMS/Bogan:

A middle school student showed other students an “Orbeez Blaster Toy Gun” on one of our school buses.  This event impacted both TMS and Bogan students riding the district bus together. After exiting the bus at the bus stop, the student shot the toy gun at another student.  A physical altercation began, and the sibling of the owner of the toy gun picked up the toy and fired it at the other student involved.  An investigation is underway presently and appropriate consequences will be applied to this circumstance.

This is another reminder to students and parents to please be aware of the items your students have with them or in their school bags, and also to please NOT ALLOW your child/children to come to school with items that ARE NOT appropriate for school.

Thank you again for the folks that reported the incident and shared information.  Talawanda continues to promote the motto “See Something…Say Something”.  Thank you for the support and cooperation of our families to help the district eliminate issues of this nature and any potential risks to student and school safety.

Thank you.
