The River Forest Community School Corporation will be on e-Learning tomorrow, Monday, December 20th. We apologize for the inconvenience, but Covid-19 has impacted our transportation department and made providing transportation services an impossibility. Knowing the hardship this creates for everyone, all schools will remain open during their normal school hours with our faculty and staff present for any parent wanting to provide transportation for their student(s) and needing adult supervision. Assignments will be posted and available for students via Google
Classroom at 9:00 a.m.
Good morning River Forest,
This is Randy Horka on behalf of the River Forest Community Schools,
The Lake County Sheriff’s Department was contacted regarding a Tik Tok posting that is now being circulated around the United States.
The LCPD Intelligence Unit has researched the origin of this post and the status of its content.
The original Internet posting as a “Tik Tok Challenge, ” was for students to skip school on December 17. At some point, the challenge was changed to a school shooting threat.
This posting is spreading on the internet across the USA – we are now seeing posts about it from Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, etc.
Police Agencies from those States have posted saying they are investigating but at this time there is no credible threat.
The river forest schools will have an added police presence tomorrow, Friday, December 17th during arrival and dismissal times. Further, I have been in contact with the Lake Station and New Chicago Police Departments and they will have added patrols around Meister, Evans, and Central Campus. As always, our school resource officers will be onsite at our buildings from bell to bell.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The Coats for Kids and Families Organization will be having our annual giveaway Saturday, November 6th from 9am-12pm. Our organization gives away winter coats to those of all ages in need. The giveaway will be held at the River Forest High School Cafeteria. Masks will be required to enter and must continue to be worn until you exit the building. This is an annual event and we are extremely lucky to continue during these unprecedented times. If numbers are large you may need to wait outside until numbers permit you to enter. All those in your party in need of a coat should be present to make sure you are able to get a coat that fits.
Panther Pride Wear orders are due Monday, November 1! Get your gear to show your Panther Pride!
Hello Ingots! The Coats for Kids and Families Organization are collecting new and gently used clean WINTER coats.
