WELCOME TO
CLARKDALE-JEROME SCHOOL !
We're glad you're here !
An update from Supt. Brown
as of April 18, 2023
- As many of you know, law enforcement did an extensive search yesterday for a man who brandished a weapon at his neighbors. CJ was asked to lockdown as a precautionary measure, which we did for approximately two hours. Students and staff were safe and we continued to update our parents throughout. Today, out of an abundance of caution, we stayed in "shelter in place" where students stayed indoors during recess and were given group bathroom breaks.
- We will resume normal operations tomorrow ( Wednesday, April 19) after communicating with Clarkdale PD. Although the suspect was not apprehended, local law enforcement has indicated there is not (nor was there) a direct threat to our students. Please contact me if you have any questions.
