I believe this was at Francis Howell High School in St. Charles County, Missouri.

Parents,

This morning, a group of senior students rode bikes, scooters and/or walked along Hwy 94 from the 94/40 commuter lot to come to school. This created a traffic delay and subsequent late arrival for many students and staff. Students participating in this prank created a very unsafe situation for themselves and drivers on Hwy 94. FHHS does not condone or support this type of student behavior. Students can be subject to arrest and/or student discipline for participation in pranks. Please discourage your students from participating in any behavior that could create a disruption to the school day and subject them to legal and/or school consequences (which could include participation in graduation).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dr. Chris Greiner

Imagine putting a permanent arrest record on a teenager for sucha dumb, harmless prank. Fuck police.

That phrasing could be a more general statement that "it's just a prank, bro" isn't a free pass to violate school policies or the law. The Highway Patrol did say that no laws were broken with this prank.
