Good evening Smithfield families! A number of students and parents have reached out to me this evening regarding an Instagram post created by a Smithfield high school student. Smithfield administrators and the school resource officer have investigated the post and determined there is no threat to Smithfield High School. The student who made the original post has since removed it, but unfortunately, the post is being recirculated this evening through social media and texting. Smithfield police and school administrators will continue to monitor the situation. Thank you!
