Full Notification

The Novato Police Department is working closely with the Novato Unified School District regarding a concerning rumor that has been circulating among the San Marin High School community. During class last week, a student made a comment to their peers about a school shooting, which was quickly reported to the school administration. After a thorough investigation, the incident was determined to not be a credible threat. NPD officers are monitoring school campuses in response to recent events to put our community at ease.
 
Our School Resource team has worked hard to build relationships with the campus community, so we’re better connected to learn about threats before it's too late. We're grateful for the proactive effort between the Novato Unified School District and our community. As a reminder, our department is fully committed to protecting our students, faculty, and staff. Novato Police has well-structured protocols for responding to incidents taking place at schools and is fully prepared to respond to any situation on campus. We will continue to work closely with Novato Unified School District to ensure safety at all NUSD facilities as threats of violence will not be tolerated.
 
This incident highlights the importance of reporting suspicious circumstances to prevent tragic situations from occurring by early intervention. We encourage students and community members to report concerning behavior immediately to the police department by calling 415-897-4361 or 415-897-1124. Additional concerns regarding this incident can be reported directly to Jan Andrews at [email protected] or by calling the school at 415-798-5156.
