Niobrara County School District #1 has been made aware of a reported bomb/shooter threat that was called into the Lingle School District earlier today. At this time, the reported threat has not been validated and has been identified and secured as a hoax by the appropriate authorities.
At present, there have been no active threats made toward Niobrara County School District #1 schools or facilities. District administration is actively monitoring the situation in coordination with law enforcement officials, who have been informed and remain engaged and are monitoring the situation.
The safety and security of our students, staff, and community remain our highest priority. We appreciate the continued partnership and communication with local and regional law enforcement agencies as they work to ensure the safety of all schools involved.
If additional information becomes available that affects our district or school operations, we'll share updates promptly with our families, staff, and community.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.

Our goal is to keep students safe, supported, and prepared for success. One way we do that is through the Prevention Needs Assessment (PNA) survey from the Wyoming Department of Health.
This anonymous survey helps us understand what students in our community are experiencing so we can make informed decisions about programs and resources. It has directly supported efforts like Sources of Strength, Botvin LifeSkills for freshmen, and potential expansion of mentoring programs like Teammates.
We understand some questions may feel sensitive. Please know the survey is:
✔️ Anonymous (no names attached)
✔️ Research-based and used across Wyoming
✔️ Focused on prevention and student support
📅 Survey Dates:
• May 12 – 8th, 10th, and 12th grades
• May 14 – 6th grade
Parent choice is important. You may opt your child out at any time by contacting the school.

Thank you for partnering with us to support our students and community.
