Dear Sto-Rox Community,
While we are deeply relieved and grateful that the missing student from our Primary Center was found safe last night, we recognize the significant impact this incident had on the student’s family, our staff, and the community at large.
We are profoundly thankful to the first responders — including those who traveled here from different townships and counties — for their swift and tireless efforts in the search and rescue mission. We also extend our gratitude to the Sto-Rox staff, community members, the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the Salvation Army, and other community partners who stepped forward to provide support during this difficult time.
District leadership will conduct a thorough review of our current practices. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners as we analyze this situation and its impact on our student safety procedures. Finally, we are committed to ensuring our students and staff have access to any resources or support they require in the wake of this incident.
Again, we thank the community for its support, and we welcome your input as we work to provide the safest possible environment for every child entrusted to our care.
Sincerely,
Sonya Coleman
Superintendent
