Dear friends,
Please know that the Westbrook Schools are aware of the horrific events in Lewiston this evening. I have been in communication with the Westbrook Police all evening and will continue to monitor the situation. The suspect is still at large, armed, and dangerous. I will provide more information in the morning if this tragedy will impact school and how we will be ready to support students and staff in the coming days
Take care, and please join me in keeping the people of Lewiston in your thoughts and prayers.
Peter Lancia, Superintendent of Schools
