Principal goes online to calm students and parents

WEST GREENWICH -- Almost a week after half the students at Exeter-West Greenwich Senior High School skipped school because of rumors about a death threat, the principal goes on the web to assure parents and students.

A message written in the girl’s bathroom yesterday was “similar” to one written last week that prompted the rumors – and, in turn, the decision by many parents to keep their children home, Principal Denise M. Boule has written on the school’s Web site.

“After speaking to the chief of police and the Superintendent, James DiPrete, we concluded that this is a ‘copy cat’ attempting to disrupt our school process,” Boule wrote.

While school is in session today, Boule wrote to parents in the open letter on the Web site that an investigation will take place.

Boule encouraged anyone with what she refers to as “valid information leading to a resolution to this situation” to call her at (401) 397-6893, ext. 24.
