Dear Moffat Creek Public School families,

I want to make you aware of a situation that affected our school today around 1:50 p.m. This afternoon Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) alerted us to a situation they were handling in the vicinity of our building, and requested that we keep our students indoors until the situation was resolved. At this point the school was directed into hold and secure.

As part of our hold and secure protocol, students and staff remained inside and all doors were locked so no one could enter or exit the building. Staff and students were safe inside the school at all times. Our school remained on hold and secure for approximately 35 minutes when we were assured by WRPS that it was safe to return to our regular school routines.

We will always take whatever precaution is necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We want to thank our partners at WRPS for helping to keep our schools safe places to learn. As always, please call me at the school at 519-620-1661 if you have questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Allan MacKay
Principal
