The school got word of the threat around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 28, school officials said on Facebook. The school was evacuated as a precaution and everyone was safely outside.
Fitchburg Fire and Police swept through the building and students were dismissed early as a result, the school added.
The building was later deemed safe and students were allowed to come back and get their personal items. All after school activities were canceled as well.
