On Thursday, August 14th, 2025, at approximately 10:15 AM a temporary lockdown was issued at the Mountain View and Timbo campuses as a precautionary measure following a domestic incident that occurred in the county, off school campuses. The lockdown was due to a domestic dispute between the parents, which occurred while their child was at the school. The lockdown was implemented in coordination with local law enforcement and the Mountain View School Resource Police to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff.

At no time was there an active threat to the school community. The decision to enter lockdown was made out of an abundance of caution while the situation was addressed off-campus. After an investigation into the reported incident, it was determined that there was no threat to the school or students.

We want to assure parents, guardians, and the community that the safety of our students is our highest priority and even potential threats are taken seriously. We are grateful to the Mountain View School Police and the Mountain View Police Department for their swift and professional response. The lockdown was lifted after law enforcement confirmed there was no threat, and it was safe to resume normal operations.
