Dear Marshall High School Parents and/or Guardians,
 
As you may know, the Fort Bend ISD Police are actively investigating an altercation that occurred on Friday, April 27, involving two of our sophomore students. The altercation took place in a back stairwell of our school at approximately 2:40 p.m. during dismissal time. We regret that one of the students involved in the altercation was injured and required medical treatment.
 
The safety of our students and staff is the District’s highest priority. The District takes this matter very seriously, and the Fort Bend ISD Police investigation is ongoing and being conducted as thoroughly and quickly as possible. The District is also investigating an alleged report of bullying and the campus administration’s response.
 
As an added safety measure, we have additional police assistance at our campus during arrival and dismissal times. We also have extra teachers and administrators closely monitoring our hallways and stairwells between classes and during arrival and dismissal times.
 
Fort Bend ISD has a number of ways to assist students on how to stay safe, which include:
• Talking to campus counselors when they are at school. Campus counselors are available to talk to students about any concerns.
• Using TalkLine, a 24/7 crisis hotline for students to call to get immediate assistance with any kind of problem. TalkLine received over 4,400 calls during the first 12 months of operation. Call TalkLine at 281.240.TALK.
• Calling an anonymous Student Crime Stoppers Hotline that students can use to report concerns about their safety or concerns about the safety of others. Call the Student Crime Stoppers Hotline at 281.491.TIPS (281.491.8477).
• If there is an emergency, call 911 or the Fort Bend ISD Police at 281.634.5500 which is answered 24/7.
We ask our students to talk with a trusted adult – a teacher, counselor, administrator or police officer – if anyone or anything makes them feel unsafe or uncomfortable. We are currently reviewing these reporting procedures and using information obtained in this investigation to immediately make whatever changes are necessary at our campus to ensure the safety of our students.
 
Please feel free to call our campus at 281-634-6630 with any questions or concerns.
 
Trevor Lemon
Principal
