Good Afternoon,
At approximately 9:00am today a message was shared regarding ongoing police activity occurring near the school.
At this time, the Colfax Police Department has given the all clear and our activities can return to normal.
Thank you to the Colfax Police Department for their ongoing support throughout the day. As a result, we experienced very little disruption to our day. At no time today were any students or staff in danger.
The safety of our students and staff remains a top priority and your ongoing support is crucial to the continued success of students and staff at Ridgeview!
Sincerely,
Erik Young

In keeping with our firm commitment to effective communication with our school community, I am writing to advise you of a currently ongoing situation. On the advice and request of the Colfax Police Department, we are keeping all students and staff inside the building, until further notice. This is in response to ongoing police activity occurring near our school. There is no immediate threat or danger to our students, staff, or building. We are only doing this out of an abundance of caution. Our School Resource Officer is onsite, and classes are proceeding as normal throughout the building.
Once more details become available, I will share those with you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Ridgeview District Office.
Thank you for your support of Ridgeview Schools!
