Katy ISD officials Monday placed Seven Lakes High School, 9251 S. Fry Road, and Seven Lakes Junior High School, 6026 Katy Gaston Road, on lockdown out of what they called an abundance of caution while investigating a rumored threat.

The lockdown was lifted Monday afternoon, and officials said students and staff were in no danger at any time. The school remained on schedule throughout the day. In a letter to parents, the district said it was not necessary to arrange early pick-ups from school

“The individuals responsible for behavior associated with today's rumored threat will face disciplinary consequences in accordance with the Katy ISD Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct,” the district said the letter. “Additionally, Katy ISD Police have assigned additional officers to patrol the campuses for the remainder of today.”
