9/5/24 District Passive Lockout Information

Dear Community,

    At approximately 11:45 a.m., the administration received a phone call from Kelloggsville’s school resource officer saying that Wyoming PD was looking for a suspect near 32nd St. and Clyde Park Ave. Out of precaution, we placed all of our schools into a passive lockout. We limited movement in the building during this time and held in-door recess. This was strictly out of precaution, and at no time were any students in danger, 

    It was determined that around 2:15 p.m., it was safe to come out of the passive lockout, and we could dismiss the students as usual.   Again, this was initiated out of an abundance of precaution to keep our students and staff safe as outside threats were being looked into. At no time was any student in immediate danger during this process, and Kelloggsville will continue to take all safety issues seriously and work with local authorities to do so. 

    At Kelloggsville Public Schools, the safety of our students and staff is our unwavering priority. We are committed to providing you with the most accurate information as quickly as possible in the event of a safety concern. We appreciate your ongoing support as we continue to work together to maintain a safe environment for our school community. Remember, we encourage your students to speak up if they see or hear anything they believe is unsafe.

We know this is a change and different than what you are used to, but these changes help Kelloggsville align our building times with other schools in Kent County. Below you will find the start and end times and other information that will be in effect for the 2024-25 school year. 

Elementary Schools            Secondary Schools

Start Time 8:25                    Start Time 7:40
