Dear McMillan Middle Staff and Families: 

I wanted to make you aware of a situation that occurred yesterday. An altercation took place between students during gym class. Staff and our SRO immediately responded to de-escalate the situation. Two staff members received minor injuries that we addressed right away.

We continue to work with the families of the students involved and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.

We appreciate your continued help in guiding our students in using good judgment in their actions for their safety and the safety of others.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school at (531) 299-2440. Please know that I cannot share additional details due to student privacy laws. 

Thank you for your continued support of McMillan Middle and Omaha Public Schools.   

Sincerely,
