A Jamaica Plain school went into “safe mode” Friday morning as staff searched for a student who had been reported missing, according to school officials.

The Curley K-8 School was put in “safe mode” for 2 minutes during the quick search, Principal Katherine Grassa wrote to the school community after the incident.

The student was reportedly hiding.

“School staff immediately worked to search for the student and notified BPS Safety Services and Boston Police to provide assistance,” the principal wrote in the letter. “The Curley K-8 School ‘Safe Mode’ was lifted once the student was found safe hiding within the building.”

“Safe mode” is a Boston Public Schools’ safety protocol. During “safe mode,” schools are required to keep students and staff in the school building while the safety team responds.

“As you know, the Curley K-8 School, like all schools in the Boston Public Schools, focuses on fostering a safe environment for every member of our community,” the school principal wrote. “We always welcome your ideas and suggestions about how we can continually work towards achieving that vision.”
