High school principal Stacey Gross sent a letter home to parents Friday about the alleged incidents, which involved both athletes and non-athletes "in association" with school athletic teams, NBC Connecticut said.

"This type of behavior casts a dark shadow over our entire school community," Gross wrote. "I am disappointed that in spite of the efforts of everyone – teachers, coaches and administrators – some students chose to ignore our directives and placed themselves and others in jeopardy of injury and exposed their fellow students to ridicule and humiliation."

Administrators are investigating events that occurred Thursday, Gross told NBC Connecticut, but did not elaborate on what happened.
