A Fairfield County high school was one of four schools in Connecticut to receive a threat Tuesday afternoon, authorities say.
Stamford High School was evacuated Tuesday after police responded to reports of a bomb threat at the school early in the afternoon. West Haven High School and two schools in Bristol, Bristol Central High School and South Side School, also received the threats Tuesday afternoon.
Students at the school on Strawberry Hill Avenue were dismissed early and sent home on buses because the threat was reported close to the normal time of dismissal.
Police are still at the scene clearing the building.
Students in Bristol were similarly dismissed after the two schools received telephone threats at about 12:45 p.m. All afternoon activities were canceled at the school.
Police said patrol officers responded to both schools and determined there was no immediate danger to students. Police are now investigating.
A Tweet from the principal says the threat was not specific.

In West Haven, extra officers were posted at the school until dismissal.
It's not clear if there is any connection between the threats.
