In an effort to be as transparent as possible, Rivercrest ISD is making the following public statement regarding an incident at the high school today.
A student was reported to make threats of violence against other students at the campus. The threats were reported to the campus principal after school, who immediately investigated with campus police. It was determined that there is no credible threat to the students or staff at RISD.
We appreciate the trust you continue to give us with your children and will do all we can to maintain a safe campus and a safe learning environment.

Rivercrest ISD Parents and Guardians,
Today, our Mighty Rivercrest Rebel Regiment Marching Band placed in the top three at the Area marching contest in Lindale, Texas. This great accomplishment for our band has earned them the opportunity to compete in the State UIL Marching Band Contest in the Alamodome in San Antonio on Tuesday, November 9, 2021.
Although it is quite a distance from Johntown, Texas, we want to give everyone an opportunity to travel to San Antonio to support and cheer for our Band in the State competition. Therefore, Rivercrest ISD will be closed all day for students and staff on Tuesday, November 9, 2021.
We are very proud of the accomplishments of our band program, and we are especially proud of our band students for representing Rivercrest ISD in such a great way.
Best of luck to our Rivercrest Rebel Regiment Marching Band in the State UIL Marching Band Competition!!
Sincerely,
Stanley Jessee
Superintendent, Rivercrest ISD
