Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are aware of reports that a number of schools have received a threatening email today and understand that this may be causing concern for some families.
We would like to reassure you that Stanhope Secondary School has not received any such threatening email.
The Department of Education has informed schools that it has liaised with An Garda Síochána at senior level. Based on Garda assessment of the threats received by schools, schools have been advised that there is no requirement to evacuate and that these are generic email threats.
The school remains open and is operating as normal. We will, of course, continue to monitor the situation closely and will follow immediately any advice received from An Garda Síochána or the Department of Education.
We hope this provides some reassurance to parents, guardians and students.
Kind regards,
Mr. J. O’Brien
Principal
