Good Morning Fairport Families:

As you may be aware from our Fairport High School (FHS) community, FHS administrators and Monroe County Sheriff deputies have been investigating concerns regarding social media reports of a school safety issue at FHS. Since yesterday and through this morning, we have investigated the reports thoroughly with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department and have concluded through multiple interviews with students that all reports are unfounded and there are no specific threats toward individuals and/or the school.

See below to read the messages we sent to FHS parents last night and this morning.

As we have shared with our school community, both the Monroe County Sheriff and the Fairport Police Department have established a consistent presence in all of our schools over the past few months. This collaboration is a part of our larger efforts to ensure safe and productive learning environments for all of our students. This partnership and their presence will continue in all of our schools.

As always, we are committed to ensuring the health, safety and well-being of our students and staff. Our collective efforts in this area are one of the most important strategies to keeping everyone safe each day.

Sincerely,

Brett Provenzano
Superintendent of Schools

Good Evening FHS Community,

Earlier today, FHS administration received multiple reports of a potential safety concern regarding a student at Fairport High School. FHS administration investigated this rumor thoroughly, and in conjunction with local law enforcement concluded that the reports are unfounded.We are confident that FHS is safe and will be in full session tomorrow.

Over the last few months, both the Monroe County Sheriff and the Fairport Police Department have established a consistent presence in all of our schools. Their  presence will continue tomorrow and into the near future. This collaboration is a part of our larger efforts to ensure safe and productive learning environments for all of our students.

One of the most important facets of safe schools is establishing a culture where students are empowered to say something if they see something. We appreciate that our students felt comfortable sharing their concerns and asking questions today. As always, we are committed to ensuring the health, safety and well-being of our students and staff.

Sincerely,

Brett Provenzano
