Dear Ruth Fisher's Parents and Guardians, A situation occurred today in the Tonopah area, causing Ruth Fisher to go into a Lockout during student arrival time. As part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all students and staff, I wanted to provide details regarding a precautionary measure we took earlier today. Earlier this morning, a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office prompted us to go into a Lockout as a police situation occurred near 339th Ave and Buckeye Rd. While there was no immediate threat to our school, we initiated a lockout as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of everyone on campus. During a lockout, all exterior doors and gates are locked, and regular activities continue inside the buildings. This procedure is part of our comprehensive safety protocols to maintain a secure learning environment. Please be assured that at no point were our students or staff in direct danger. Our administrative team worked closely with local law enforcement to monitor the situation. The lockout was lifted by 8:15 a.m. after law enforcement deemed it safe. Classes have resumed as usual. We understand that situations like these can be concerning, and we want to assure you that our students and staff's safety and well-being are our top priorities. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office at 623-474-5501. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to maintain a safe and secure learning environment. Sincerely, Mr. Matt Dobesh Principal matt.dobesh@smusd90.org

Good evening, We hope that you will join us at one of our upcoming community forums with Superintendent Dr. Winters. April 16th at 6pm at Tartesso Elementary and April 17th at 6pm at Ruth Fisher Middle School.
