"We received a tip, through a call and that caller told us that they had seen it on social media," said Officer Michael Haobsh with the San Mateo Police Department.
Police have instituted patrols in and around the school. They will also increase uniformed and plain-clothes presence in the area.
The increased "security presence is not meant to cause concern, but rather to reassure our school community," police said.
