Thank you Mr. Jacob Dickey for teaching kindergarten all about weather!

Kindergarten had fun learning about the weather from WCIA channel 3 meteorologist, Jacob Dickey.

Volume Zoo was a massive success for 5th grade! Students were required to use their volume knowledge to create, measure, and solve to discover the total volume of their animals!

December 21, 2023 Dear parents/guardians, Today, we were made aware of an alleged threat of violence against the school posted to social media. We immediately involved our School Resource Officer, who was already onsite, to investigate the incident. Out of an abundance of caution we also involved the McLean County Sheriff’s Department, and kept all students and staff indoors. Law enforcement identified and contained the source of the alleged threat and assured us that at no time were our students or staff in danger. We have been assured by law enforcement that students and staff are safe to attend school and that there is no ongoing threat from this situation. Please do not be alarmed by the additional visibility of law enforcement and our School Resource Officer tomorrow as student and staff safety is our top priority. I want to thank the Colfax Police Department, the McLean County Sheriff’s Office, and everyone who had a part in quickly resolving this situation. Sincerely, Erik Young Superintendent Ridgeview CUSD #19
