Code Red Alert

This morning, the Darien Police informed us through a Code Red Alert that an armed man was seen walking in the area of Tokeneke Road.  At approximately 7:25 am, a decision was made to put Darien High School and Middlesex Middle School on lockout.  It was also determined that all elementary schools would operate on a 90-minute delay.  We believed that it would be best not having students waiting for buses or walking to school when there was a fugitive at large in the town.  Shortly after 8:00 am, a follow-up Code Red message was received.  At that time, we were informed by the Darien Police that Darien was “all clear” and the lockout could be lifted.  All elementary schools will be in session, but on a 90-minute delay.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
