Rivercrest School District is aware of a threat made by an elementary student. We have collected information and do not believe there is any danger at this time. The student is not present and our ongoing safety protocols are in place. All exterior doors of our campus are locked down at all times. No visitors are allowed unless admitted by the front offices. Our classrooms are newly equipped with door locks that are secure throughout the day. Additionally, our school cameras are monitored continuously. Rivercrest School District has made great strides in improving our security on our campus. Again the safety of our children is the highest priority at all times. We consider all threats seriously and the proper actions will take place. We will continue to monitor the issue. If any credibility should arise, we will investigate the matter to the fullest and keep our parents aware. If you should have any additional concerns, please reach out to one of the elementary administrators.

JROTC will host an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, March 17 from 12pm - 3pm at the JROTC building. Please call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit RedCrossBlood.org to schedule an appointment.
