  Within three months, new principal Mark Willis and assistant principal Donna Hudson have had to deal with marijuana possession, illegal weapons and a pipe bomb threat on campus.
  ...
  "These incidents are alarming," says Willis, "but reassuring that our students are trusting us (by) coming forward with (information)."Case in point: On Jan. 24, a student or students brought four knives and a pellet gun to school.A fellow student noticed the items and went to administrators, who, with the help of law enforcement, took "appropriate disciplinary sanctions," according to a letter Willis sent home with students that day.Willis says with so many rumors going around, he felt he should let parents know what really happened."Please discuss with your children the importance of following the school rules as outlined in their handbook and the need to report any concerns they have about school safety," Willis wrote.Although she couldn't talk in some specifics about minors and cases still being investigated, Hudson says the number of major incidents - such as those involving law enforcement or school evacuations - are not considerably greater than any other year since she started at the middle school 14 years ago.Case in point: On Feb. 18, a police report shows a student reported a pipe bomb in a locker.
  ...
  And the pipe bomb call was nothing but a prank, Willis says.But they had to evacuate the school anyway, particularly in the shadow of the Columbine school tragedy in 1999."To evacuate the building: That's a big issue for us," Hudson says, but they have had to do it one time this year.A go-to list hangs on each administrator's wall, a flip-card manual for what to do in emergencies, what Willis calls "big-ticket" items: accidental injury, bad weather, chemical spill, child abuse, death at school, earthquake, fire, firearms/handguns, lock-down procedures, student demonstrations, transportation accidents and others, including bomb threats.And though occasions like the knives and pellet gun incident are cause for alarm, Hudson tries to look at it in a positive light.
  ...
  That's why Willis and Hudson targeted bullying problems at the beginning of this school year.
  ...
  "We try to be as approachable as possible," Willis says."Students can come to any staff member, administrator, the custodians, any trusted adults.We can help."
  ...
  Fortunately, Willis says, after-school programs keep 150 out of 850 middle school students in the building, where adults can help with homework and some student issues before they become incidents.
