Hello Parents

Student safety is our primary concern. This call is to notify you that today the Calaveras County Office of Education received a generalized email bomb threat.

We do not have any information at this time that this email threat is credible and actually targeted our schools; however, all threats are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. This threat did not mention any specific school or school district. We are working closely with the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office and Angels Camp Police department to ensure our students are safe and appropriate precautions are taken.

As a cautionary measure, law enforcement will be present on campuses. If you discover anything that can assist in the investigation, please contact us immediately. If there are any valid developments in this situation, further communication will be sent.

The Sheriff’s Office, treats and investigates every threat seriously and independently; the FBI has been notified about this latest email.
