An unloaded gun without ammunition was found.
In a letter addressed to parents and guardians, administrators encouraged students, staff and families to be vigilant in reporting safety concerns.
"Given the serious consequences of individuals breaching school safety and the disruption of the educational process, it is very important that you discuss this topic with your child. By raising awareness, we hope to prevent disruption to the school environment," reads the letter.
No students or staff were in any immediate danger, according to the school.
