This morning, a call came in that a possible active shooter was in the Belle Fourche High School. All high school students were already at an assembly at the BFACC. The Belle Fourche Police Department swept our high school, and no person was found. It was later found out by the police department that this call was a prank call made to many school districts in the nation. The FBI is tracing the location of the caller. All buildings were in a soft lock down for a short period of time this morning.
Due to malfunctioning fire alarm sensors, our Middle School had an unplanned fire drill this afternoon. The building was cleared and deemed safe. Thank you.

Dear Families,
The Belle Fourche School District is aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17.
The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our School District. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we want you to know we are aware of the threat and are monitoring the situation.
Additionally, the District has been in contact with the Belle Fourche Police Department regarding the post. We will have increased police presence at or around our buildings on Friday as an added precaution.
Thank you,
Dr. Steve Willard
Belle Fourche School District Superintendent
