Tabb High School Modified Lockdown

Shortly before noon today, Tabb High School reported receiving threatening phone calls. The calls were in relation to last week’s incident at Tabb High School which was captured on video and spread nationwide via social media. As a precaution, the school immediately initiated a modified lockdown. After-school activities were also canceled. We are working closely with the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office as law enforcement investigates the phone calls.

The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office provided additional deputies at Tabb High today to assist in maintaining a safe and orderly environment in our school, and additional deputies will be onsite tomorrow as well, simply as a precaution and reassurance to families.

As staff continue to work with law enforcement, we would like to ask our community’s assistance in this matter as well. Please use this as an opportunity to talk as a family about the importance of reporting concerns and the dangers of using social media to create or advance rumors and misinformation related to this incident.
