The unexpected closure left parents and staff scrambling, but officials assured families the school is safe for reopening on Tuesday. Teachers will not address the incident in class but will be prepared to calm anxious students, the district said.

“This community is resilient,” Principal Dr. Carboy said. “I am incredibly proud of how we come together to support one another.”

Superintendent Mr. Rizzo praised the fast response of law enforcement, maintenance teams, and school staff in restoring normal operations.
