Couch R-I Schools

Potential Threats and Hoax Calls

Within recent weeks, several schools around the country, including one in Missouri have been impacted by an increasing number of hoax reports of active shooter incidents. We want to assure everyone that we are aware of the incidents and we take all threats seriously until proven otherwise. If we receive such a threat, our plans include rapid communication of accurate information. We encourage you to stay in touch by visiting our school's webpage at couch.k12.mo.us. We will also use k12 alerts to send out mass notifications via phone, email, and sometimes text.

The Couch R-I School District will always remain vigilant regardless of false reports, and we will also pursue any potential prosecution regarding those who seek to disrupt school by making a false threat. As always, we encourage anyone with concerning information about a student or situation to report it immediately to us. If it is outside of normal school hours, please call law enforcement and/or Missouri's school tipline, Courage2Report (866-748-7047, courage2reportmo.com).

Educationally Yours,
Jean Meyer
Superintendent
