UPDATE: The lockdown has been lifted
Beverly Hills Police say Birmingham Groves High School has been put on lock down due to a police situation outside the school.
The school sent this email to parents:
Currently Groves High School is in lockdown status. We are anticipating no delays of the school day, with students dismissing at the normal time.
Police may be on campus during this lockdown. During a lockdown, no one shall enter or exit the building.
We ask for your cooperation in not contacting the main office of the school, staff in the building, or other district offices. Our priority is to follow our safety and security procedures to keep the building safe for student and staff. Answering phone calls, texts and email cannot be a priority at this time.
Also, please do not go to the school campus. Traffic on the campus complicates our security procedures. We will provide updates on the situation as we can, and we will notify you when the lockdown is lifted. We understand the concerns raised by this situation, and we thank you for your patience and support.
