REMINDER: IMMUNIZATIONS I will be sending out letters to all students who are not up to date on vaccinations. Please make sure to get their vaccinations before starting school in August. If you receive a letter and the student has been vaccinated please bring me a copy of shot record. Once school starts you can drop off any updated vaccinations at the Elementary, Middle School or High School office. If your student will be entering the 7 th grade this year please make sure to get their immunizations up to date. Your child will need to have their Tdap and Meningococcal (MC4V) vaccination before starting the 7 th grade. +++Any parents who do not wish to have their children vaccinated will need to turn in an Affidavit and have it notarized. Thank you for your time and cooperation. Sincerely, Seagraves ISD Nurse Michele Miranda, LVN

Seagraves Parents and Staff: Late last night, Seagraves ISD was made aware of a social media threat. The assumption was that it was towards Seagraves, Texas but it was determined through an investigation that the original post was made against another ISD in another part of the state. Our investigation, in collaboration with numerous law enforcement agencies, determined there is no threat towards Seagraves ISD. The original social media threat made towards the other district is still under investigation with the FBI but the investigation in Seagraves is closed. We will resume business as usual tomorrow, along with all events and activities for the remainder of the school year. We have asked local law enforcement to provide more of a presence to ease concerns. We appreciate your cooperation and trust in us as we all work together to continue to keep our students and community safe. Sincerely, Bonnie Avey-Superintendent

Late last night, a social media post was made threatening Seagraves ISD. Local law enforcement, along with multiple other law enforcement agencies have been investigating the source of the message. Although we do not believe this to be a viable threat, we are following safety protocols to ensure the safety of all Seagraves ISD students and staff. Therefore, we will be cancelling school on Wednesday, May 17th out of an abundance of caution and to allow law enforcement the opportunity to trace the source of the post. We will continue to work with all law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of our students and staff. As new information becomes available, we will keep you informed. We appreciate your trust in us, as we all work together to keep our district safe. Thank you, Bonnie Avey-Superintendent Bonnie Avey, Ph. D. Superintendent Seagraves ISD

Tomorrow, May 16, 2023, the bands will be holding their Spring Concert in the Auditorium at 7:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to watch our groups, from the 5th grade band all the way to the High School Band! Band parents, the image below is the itinerary for tomorrow night!

Seagraves administration, along with the police and FBI are receiving reports of the same social media posts circulating across the South Plains area.  The posts have been altered and continue to be shared, causing panic and fear.  Although no posts have been made to target Seagraves ISD, we are continually monitoring the situation.   The district administration has been in constant communication with the Seagraves Police Department and will continue working closely with them.  As of now, we have not received any threat to our district or to any of our campuses.  We take these situations very seriously and we will continue to be on alert and monitor the situation.   Our safety and security protocols, along with our partnership with our local law enforcement are integral to keeping our campuses safe.  To increase security measures tomorrow, we will have police on each campus as a precautionary measure.  The safety of our students and staff is our number one priority.  We appreciate your trust in us.   Sincerely, Bonnie Avey-Superintendent

Seagraves family, We recently received the following information from Safer Schools Together... Safer Schools Together (SST) has been informed and is aware of a text message circulating containing school shooting threats. We have located the original threat on a Reddit post which was shared by a user from Palm Beach County in Florida around 3:00 p.m. PST on May 4, 2023.  The same text message has been circulating and distributed to school districts in Florida and Texas. SST's Threat Analysts are noticing it is beginning to circulate across North America. Given the mass distribution combined with the signature on the text message - 'Sincerely Devyn' - as well as language used, we are confident this is a spam text message. Our Threat Analysts will continue working closely to address concerns raised and will continue to monitor our email addresses.  At no time have any of our staff or students been in any danger.  Out of an abundance of caution, we have increased security measures on all of our campuses and around the district.  We take the safety and security of our students very seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.  Additionally, we will swiftly address any viable threat.   Sincerely, Dr. Avey-Superintendent
