Parent Notification September 11, 2024 Dear Pine Tree Parents/Guardians, We are aware of rumors circulating about potential threats to public schools in our area, specifically related to Pine Tree ISD. Working closely with the Longview Police Department (LPD), we have investigated these rumors and identified the source of one as a high school student. This student shared concerns online after hearing other students discuss the issue. However, these rumors have no validity. Additionally, some students are redistributing outdated posts, making them appear as if they are new incidents. Sharing false information creates unnecessary stress, causes worry, and places an undue burden on both school and police resources. We encourage you to speak with your children about the importance of addressing concerns appropriately. If your child has any concerns, please encourage them to speak directly with an administrator or School Resource Officer (SRO) rather than turning to social media. Social media is not the right platform for resolving these matters. Please be assured, there is no immediate threat to the safety of any Pine Tree campuses. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. PTISD Administration
