No Threat Found: Fairview Elementary School Evacuated After Suspicious Devices Found Near Campus

Students at Moore Fairview Elementary School in Moore were evacuated to another campus on Monday after some suspicious devices were found near the school.

According to the police, a call came in around 1 p.m. that some noise could be heard coming from some containers. School leaders chose to move students by bus to Moore West Junior High out of an abundance of caution.

When investigators arrived, they found the containers to be y. Gary Knight, with the Oklahoma City Police Department, said there is no threat to the school.

Parents were sent the following message.

"Dear Fairview Families,

Recently, unknown devices were found outside on the Fairview campus. Oklahoma City Police are working the scene and it is an active investigation. 

Students and employees are safe, and out of an abundance of caution, all students will be transported by bus to Moore West Junior High. Students were evacuated with whatever items they had on them, so walkers and car riders may not have their backpacks, house keys, and other necessities. 

Fairview parents/guardians are not to go to the Fairview campus.

DO NOT COME TO MWJH UNTIL after 2:30 p.m. due to junior high dismissal.

Fairview students may be checked out by a parent/guardian by entering the MWJH gym behind the back of the school.

Moore West JH: 9400 S. Penn Ave.; OKC, OK 73159

Fairview bus riders will be picked up for their regular routes at MWJH at the normal time.

Students will not have their keys and belongings if they were left at the Fairview campus.

The safety and security of MPS students, employees, and our campus sites are of the highest importance, and we appreciate everyone's cooperation. We will provide an update once students are moved to MWJH. 

Thank you,

MPS Administration"
