Good Morning, Earlier this morning, we received an anonymous tip regarding a student holding a weapon. APD was immediately called. We went on a short all campus lockdown. The students in question were located. An imitation gun that resembled a real firearm was found on campus. APD took possession of the weapon. Appropriate discipline will be given to those involved and we will continue to remain vigilant against such dangerous situations so that all students and staff are safe on campus. Dallas Ranch is committed to the safety of all students, and we will not tolerate any misbehavior that jeopardizes student, staff, or community safety. We appreciate the coordinated efforts with APD and the professionalism of our administration and campus supervisor team. Safety will always be our highest priority as we help our students grow and learn appropriate behaviors. Sincerely,
