During the week of January 25, each of the four District 96 elementary schools will be participating in a short state mandated building crisis drill. This drill will help our students and staff to be prepared in the event that an intruder enters a school. While local authorities will not participate in the drill, they have been instrumental in planning the logistics of it.
The drill will take no more than about 5 minutes.
If you have any questions, please contact your building principal.

From the Riverside Police Department & District 96
As we welcome the new school year, it is a great time to revisit traffic and parking safety procedures and expectations. In past years we’ve witnessed some potentially dangerous incidents in the drop off/pick-up areas. All of these incidents can be avoided by all drivers following these traffic/parking expectations:
- Please use extreme caution while in the presence of children in the area of the school.
- Please drive slowly and refrain from cell phone use while driving through the drop-off/pick-up zones.
- Please DO NOT leave your vehicle while in the drop-off/pick-up zones.
- If there is a need to go into the school or visit with anyone inside the school, please park your vehicle legally and walk to meet your child.
- Do not ask/expect your child to walk in front of another car to get into your car. This is extremely dangerous.
- Please help the school staff and police officers by being extra diligent in following these procedures.
Student safety is our utmost goal at the Riverside Police Department. Thank you in advance for partnering with us to make sure that all District 96 staff, students, and parents are safe!
Sincerely,
Thomas Weitzel
Chief of Police
Dr. Jonathan Lamberson
Superintendent
