Important Safety Updates:

May 31, 2026 / Nicholas Odorizzi

Dear Families and Staff,

This weekend, Wilson Creek School District was notified that a young person had made an online threat of violence directed at our school.

We immediately contacted the Grant County Sheriff’s Office to notify them of the situation and get their help to investigate. After investigating the issue, law enforcement notified school leadership that the threat was not credible, and there was no danger to our school.

We understand the desire to know more about this situation. Privacy laws prohibit us from sharing personally identifiable information, and we cannot release additional details about the individual involved.

Situations like this can be unsettling. Please know that the safety of our students and staff is always our highest priority. We take all threats very seriously and act immediately, in partnership with law enforcement, to keep our schools safe.

If you or your family would benefit from additional support, the following resources may be helpful in guiding conversations with children about school safety and violence:

Talking to children about violence(National Association of School Psychologists)
Helping Children Cope After a Traumatic Event (Tips for Different Age Groups) (Child Mind Institute)

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.

Kandice Hansen
Superintendent
Wilson Creek School District
