That was not in the Press Release we received.
Does anyone know how many school threats are typically made in a given day! I was looking today because of DeKalb and ?Naperville. Is t.hs an unusual number or typical?
Wow, was your two scared
Every one has an opinion but I think the school did a great job, got those kids out of that school and safe in under 8 mins. Go 428 we all did one hell of a job today.
So glad I pulled my son out of there and sent him to Cornerstone. It was bad enough 10 years ago and now it’s worse. Idiot parents who don’t want their “special snowflakes” to be disciplined when they do wrong. You are planting a garden of enormous problems when students have too much freedom and very few rules. When will they learn? When the school IS bombed or a student murders another student?
Rosette is a excellent school, and the whole ordeal today was handled very well, by all involved.. Why do you feel this has to do with the school? Or students there? There were several bomb threats called in across the country.. Don’t be so quick to bash our neighborhood schools…
Judgmental much?
Someone has major issues. WOW
Dave Wallin are you referring to me or Traci??
No not you
My son went to rosette for 6th grade. He was bullied relentlessly. He finally tried to defend himself and got in trouble. He should have. However, the bullies never got into trouble at all. My son was afraid of retaliation. I’m more than familiar with that place. 1 year for him there was 1 year too much. The kids that thrive there, more power to them. Mine did not. He thrived at CCA.
It sounds like your situation has absolutely nothing to do with what went on today.
Those involved in today’s events should be commended for their actions. Not bashed.
Stephanie Urech correct today was a big day nationwide for bomb threats. Sad but true state of our country. I could not believe how many when I was looking up the DeKalb incident.
Jennifer Mae I believe they all happened close to the same times too… I didn’t realize there was one in Naperville too..
If I’m not mistaken they were about three minutes apart nationwide… There were also some made to the UK as well..
Whoa! Where I student taught……
