Here is a statement from Ann Arbor Public Schools:

Hello AAPS Community,
Student and staff safety remain the top priority in the Ann Arbor Public Schools.
We wanted to make you aware that a 10th-grade Pioneer student, Adriana Davidson, has been reported as a missing person to the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO). The Sheriff’s Office issued a missing person alert through their Washtenaw Alert system on Saturday night.
The most up-to-date information can be found on Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) social media outlets, as well as in their Notifications section near the bottom of the WCSO web page.
We appreciate that members of our AAPS team have been working diligently and closely with the authorities throughout this weekend in support of this situation.
Should your child come to you with information they feel is relevant, the Washtenaw Sheriff's office has asked that people with information call: Washtenaw Metro Dispatch at (734)-994-2911 or the confidential tip line at (734)-973-7711.
We understand that, in addition to Adriana's peer group, some students and staff who do not know Adriana personally may also be impacted by hearing this information, especially if they have situations in their own lives that make them more vulnerable right now.
Social emotional support is available in our schools, and in counseling offices as needed across our AAPS campuses. As always, our AAPS team is keeping a watchful eye out for students who may be struggling or who may have information to share, and will work to connect students with an adult for additional support.
I know our thoughts of care and support are with the family of Adriana at this critical time. As we learn additional public information, we will remain in close communication on this matter as appropriate.
