MATTITUCK, NY — Despite concerns raised by students and parents about a reported incident at Mattituck Middle School on Thursday, the situation has been resolved and classes will resume as normal on Friday, Superintendent of Schools Shawn Petretti said.
According to a parent who contacted Patch, police were called to the high school Thursday after a student caused a disturbance. Rumors swirled that she may have texted friends, saying, “Don't come to school tomorrow,” she said.
Some students were reportedly concerned about attending classes on Friday.
Petretti released a statement to Patch: “Earlier today, upon arrival at school, a Mattituck Jr./Sr. High School student became extremely upset and required medical attention. This was an isolated medical situation involving only one student. There were no threats made to students or staff and no other students were involved,” he said.
“Thanks to our school officials who were there to assist and assess the situation, the family was contacted, the student's needs were properly addressed, and the student was escorted out of school for additional medical care,” he said. “I would like to thank everyone involved for maintaining a safe space for the student to receive appropriate care and attention during a stressful time. Tomorrow, classes at the high school will resume as normal.”
