The Amherst Police Department has completed its sweep of Walter G. Nord School and has cleared the building of any threat. Students have been safely escorted back into the building.
If parents, guardians, or approved emergency contacts would like to pick up their student, please report to the front entrance of the school. Staff members and the Amherst Police Department will be outside to assist and direct you through the process.
For students remaining at school, classes, activities, and normal dismissal procedures will resume as scheduled. Bus dismissal will also proceed as normal for students who will be riding the bus home.
We appreciate the cooperation, patience, and support of our families and community throughout today’s situation.
