Law enforcement has confirmed that the information reported to Administration was unfounded and posed no threat to students or staff. Out of an abundance of caution, safety protocols were followed to ensure the well-being of everyone on campus. All practices and games will continue as scheduled this afternoon and evening.
“We are grateful for the swift response of our law enforcement and appreciate the cooperation and patience of our students, staff and parents during this HOLD procedure. ” said Superintendent Michelle Gill.

Pine River Area Middle and High Schools continue in a HOLD status as an investigation continues. Students and staff are safe, being served lunch and have access to restroom facilities. We anticipate the Hold will continue while Police authorities continue their investigation. We will continue to provide more updates as available.

Out of an abundance of caution, Pine River Area Schools has implemented a HOLD at the middle and high school facilities at approximately 11:35 a.m. today in order to investigate a statement that was found written in the school. HOLD means that students and staff will stay in their classrooms and continue business as usual. Police authorities are onsite and the investigation is ongoing. There is no immediate threat and school will continue as usual. During a Hold, students, staff and parents are not allowed in or out of the building. We will continue to update our school community and families as information becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
