Also, out of an abundance of caution, parents were informed that they might see additional law enforcement in the area Friday.

This incident follows a previous threat on social media targeting students at Tarkanian Middle School, as well as another student threat against J. Marlan Walker Elementary School earlier this month.

Harrison-Rollins said in her Thursday letter that providing a safe, positive learning environment for students is the number one priority and she will keep parents informed of important issues happening within the school community.

Sig Rogich Middle School is located at 235 Pavilion Center Drive, within the Summerlin community, and can be reached at 702-799-6040 for any further concerns.

The SafeVoice reporting system can be contacted at 1-833-216-SAFE (7233), online, or through the downloadable phone app.
