Dear Arete Parents and Guardians,
Today at 10:05 am we were notified by the Gilbert Police Department of a suspect who had jumped the south wall from the neighborhood onto campus near the football field. All students, teachers, and staff moved into a lockdown immediately. Soon after, we received updated information that the suspect was in custody. The lockdown lasted approximately 10 minutes.
Our students, faculty, and staff reacted swiftly and were safe at all times. We are thankful to have the full support of the Gilbert Police Department.
Sincerely,
Neil Gillingham and Julia Gillingham |Headmasters
Archway Arete and Arete Prep
