Mars Area School District is aware of multiple FALSE reports of active shooting incidents at various schools within the Pittsburgh region and across the nation this morning. Please know that we have been in contact with the Adams Township Police Department as well as the Pennsylvania State Police in order to confirm that these various reports are not factual. 

Out of an abundance of caution, we are ensuring that all staff members are aware of the current situation and request that they have a heightened sense of security by actively monitoring for any suspicious activity. 

As always, thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Dr. Mark Gross
Superintendent
