ParentLink Message January 29, 2018

This is Amy Dockter-Rozar, Principal at West Career and Technical Academy.

Providing a safe, positive learning environment for our students is the number
one priority and I wanted to keep you informed of important issues happening
within our school community.

Recently, we received information about a possible threat made against our

school and staff. We shared this information with law enforcement officials and
they investigated the matter and determined there was no immediate threat to
students and staff. However, making threats is a criminal action and I wanted
you to know that the Clark County School District Police Department did arrest
two of our students for making terroristic threats.

The arrests provide us with an opportunity to remind parents to have discussions

with your child regarding making threatening statements and that there are
consequences that go with inappropriate conduct. It is also important for students
and parents to report any possible suspicious activity or behavior to school
administration and/or law enforcement.

I would like to thank all parents and students who have reported what they have
heard to school staff. It is only with your help and concern that we can become
aware of potential safety concerns and take proper action to protect our campus.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call us at 702-
799-4340.
