Good afternoon Keppel Academy Families,
I want to advise you that we were informed today of a posting on Instagram from more than a month ago referencing potential gun violence on our campus. We have thoroughly investigated this allegation and have found there to be no credible risk to our students and staff. We will continue to be vigilant as safety is our top priority.
Please speak with your child to reinforce that it is imperative to report any real or perceived threats immediately to any adult on campus as soon as the child becomes aware. Should your child need support in any way, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Crawford, Principal

Buenas tardes familias de la Academia Keppel,
Quiero informarles de que hemos sido informados hoy de una publicación en Instagram de hace más de un mes que hacía referencia a una posible violencia con armas de fuego en nuestra escuela. Hemos investigado a fondo esta alegación y hemos encontrado que no hay ningún riesgo creíble para nuestros estudiantes y personal. Seguiremos vigilando, ya que la seguridad es nuestra máxima prioridad.
Por favor, hable con su hijo/a para reforzar que es imperativo informar de cualquier amenaza real o percibida inmediatamente a cualquier adulto en la escuela tan pronto como el niño se da cuenta. Si su hijo/a necesita apoyo de alguna manera, no dude en ponerse en contacto con el/la maestro/a de su hijo/a o conmigo.
Sinceramente,
Sra. Crawford, Directora

NO CHANGE TO START TIMES IN KEPPEL IN 2022-23: Keppel schools will not change the start times in the upcoming year. Based on Bill No. 328, instruction in California must start after 8:00 a.m. for middle schools and after 8:30 a.m. in high schools next school year. All schools in Keppel already have start times after 8:00 a.m. so there is no need for any changes to the bell schedule.
