A threat directed toward a Canyon Country Jr. High School Thursday has been deemed non-credible by law enforcement.

Thursday night, Hart District officials received reports of a “troubling message” circulating on social media towards Sierra Vista Jr. High School in Canyon Country, Hart District officials said in an email to parents Friday morning.

“Based on that message, our local law enforcement conducted a thorough school threat assessment,” the email said. “After their investigation, law enforcement determined that there is no credible threat to Sierra Vista. We take the safety of our school community seriously, and we spent significant time assuring that our school is safe.”

Officials with the Hart District said they will continue to do everything in their power to assure that students are well taken care of at Sierra Vista.

“If you or your student ever become aware of a potential risk or threat, continue to report items of concern to our CAREText line at 661-213-9314 or [email protected], so that they can be investigated,” officials concluded.
