Dear WCI families,

I want to make you aware of a situation that affected our school today. Around 12:10 pm, a Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) directed our school into a hold and secure as the result of an ongoing police investigation.

As part of our hold and secure protocol, students and staff remained inside and all exterior doors were locked so no one could enter or exit the building. Staff and students were safe inside the school or in their classroom portable at all times. Our school remained on hold and secure for approximately five minutes until we were assured by WRPS that it was safe to return to our regular school routines.

We will always take whatever precaution is necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We would like to thank WRPS for responding and for their continuous support in keeping our school community safe.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at school.

Sincerely,

Siobhan Watters
Principal
