A student assaulted two teachers at an Auckland girls' school yesterday, an email received by parents stated.
Epsom Girls Grammar principal Lorraine Pound sent out an email to parents telling them about the assault and reassuring them the student involved is "not onsite" today.
She said there was a "distressing incident at school yesterday afternoon" where "a student physically struck two staff members".
The email goes on to say staff and students are being supported and the student involved is not at school today.
The school is working with the Ministry of Education over the incident.
Stuff is reporting the United States second gentleman Douglas Emhoff was at the school to talk to students on the same day as the assault.
Pound told 1News the assault was "unrelated to the delegation's visit and occurred in a different part of the school".
Police said they were called following a report of two people being assaulted in Epsom yesterday afternoon.
"Just before 3pm, police were called to Epsom Girls Grammar School following a student allegedly assaulting two staff members.
"Police investigations remain ongoing and the student has been referred to Youth Aid Services."
