Parents picking up their student/s will enter the parking lot via the Tracy Ave. Exit Drive. After picking up their student, cars will be directed through the high school lot to E. 222nd at Wilmore.

Good evening, Earlier today, the district received a bomb threat via email claiming to be from a foreign terrorist group. This email was very general and sent to many districts across the state and country, including several in Northeast Ohio. This threat has been deemed not credible. We are currently working with the Euclid Police Department and other safety officials. The Cleveland Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI are presently tracking several of these incidents across Ohio. An identical situation happened earlier this week in Texas. As always, safety in our Euclid Schools is our top priority. We take all threats seriously and work with public safety officials to determine the credibility of a threat. As a precaution, the Euclid Schools will have an extra police presence available at our schools tomorrow. Our staff will also complete a full safety sweep of each building before opening for school tomorrow. This situation is a good reminder for our Euclid families to always report safety tips and concerns to the District through the See Something, Say Something SafeLine - (216) 797-STOP (7867). Unless directed otherwise, we expect a typical school day tomorrow, Monday, December 11th. Thank you, Christopher Papouras Superintendent Euclid City Schools
