If you haven't downloaded the Alton R-IV App, you are missing out!!!!
Creating an atmosphere free of bullying is a top priority for the Alton R-IV School District. Tomorrow, we are launching a new component of our app that will allow any district stakeholder, including a parent or a student, to report bullying in a safe, secure, manner. We are excited to implement a system that will help us enforce our district's lack of tolerance for bullying behaviors.
There will not be a high school girl's game tonight.
This is Eric Allen, Superintendent at Alton. Based on reports of an individual with a gun near, but not on campus, we followed our protocol and went in to lockdown. Law enforcement was contacted and responded very quickly. After an extensive search of the area no individual fitting the description was located. Law enforcement has given the all clear, but we have moved all students from out buildings to either the main elementary or high school building and they will remain there throughout the end of the day.
Law enforcement will remain on campus through bus departure time at 3:30. Normal after school practices and events will go forward as planned.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as our faculty and law enforcement officers followed our practiced protocols and procedures in this matter.
