Friday’s classes at Westmont Hilltop School District have been canceled “out of an abundance of caution” as an investigation into threatening messages continues, Superintendent Thomas Mitchell said Thursday evening.

The decision, made in collaboration with local law enforcement, comes after a pair of online accounts associated with the district reportedly received threatening messages on Wednesday and after a flexible instructional day – in which students worked from home – was used on Thursday.

“The cancellation provides additional time for local law enforcement to continue their investigation and allows the school district time to arrange additional safety measures for the upcoming week,” Mitchell said in a release.

A second flexible instructional day can’t be scheduled for Friday because the elementary school students only had enough assignments for one day at home.

Administrators will determine next week’s schedule on Sunday evening. Friday’s missed school day will be made up on June 5, and if possible, the original commencement date for seniors will be maintained.
