PARKER, Colo. -- A seventh-grade Sagewood Middle School student is facing disciplinary action from school administrators for compiling a list of those he dislikes.“I can confirm to you that a student did indeed make a list that contained the names of fewer than five students. As a result, appropriate action was taken with the student, “ said Ralph Montgomery, Sagewood Middle School principal.Montogmery said the specifics of what disciplinary actions the student is facing will not be released due to privacy laws.
Administrators became aware of the rumors Nov. 21 during the holiday break, which prompted an investigation and the distribution of the letter written by Montogmery, said Whei Wong, spokeswoman for Douglas County.A letter was sent to parents of Sagewood Middle School students Friday “because of the rumors that were circulating,” said Whei Wong, spokeswoman for Douglas County.“I believe a student came forward about the list. Claimed to have seen the list a week prior to telling any adult about it,” said Wong when asked about how school administrators learned of the letter.In the letter sent to parents, Montogmery wrote “I want to assure you of the safety of your children while at Sagewood. I can tell you, Sagewood leaders have worked closely with Douglas County School District security to ensure that your students and our staff are safe. We are safe.”Wong said the parents of those mentioned in the list were notified.“We determined there apparently was no threat or intent to harm anyone,” said WongWong was not sure when the seventh-grade boy would be allowed to return to school.
