We are grateful for the quick response of our team and first responders. All students and staff are safe; a detailed letter has been sent home with students and is also attached here for your reference.

Greetings Southwestern Classical Academy Families, This morning, a concerning note was discovered on campus. In response, we immediately initiated safety protocols, which included evacuating the building to ensure the well-being of our students and staff. Our scholars were safely transported to our designated evacuation site at a nearby church while law enforcement conducted a thorough investigation. We are grateful to the Flint Police Department and the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department for their swift response and support. After approximately three hours, the building was given the all-clear and deemed safe for re-entry. We want to reassure you that the safety of our scholars and staff remains our highest priority, and we will continue to act with urgency and care in all matters of school safety. Thank you for your continued trust and support. — Southwestern Classical Academy Administration
