Perceived Rumor at UHS Today

Good morning,

Earlier this morning, Mr. DiMeglio and I became aware of a rumor regarding a threat to violence and/or a weapon. We have since been in contact with the Uxbridge Police Department and our School Resource Officer, Officer Deveau, who have confirmed, in fact, that this was hearsay. If there were any direct concern or threat, please know that we would be investigating it fully and moving quickly to maintain the safety of everyone in this building. At this time, there is no cause for concern.

As an aside, we sent this message to students about an hour ago, and I, unfortunately, got pulled in another direction before clicking "send" on this message to parents. I apologize for any mixed messages or misinformation that got out there in the interim. As we know, news and information can frequently travel lightning-fast, which makes sometimes dispelling that information a challenge. We are typically proactive with information, but, again, we reiterate no cause for concern.

Thank you to those who brought some information forward.

Sincerely,

Michael Rubin, Principal
​Uxbridge High School
