Lady Colts Softball - GAME DAY! 🥎

ATLAS testing begins this week. Check out the tips for students and parents as well as the spring testing schedules.




It's a beautiful day for softball! Go Colts!

Rivercrest Elementary Pre-K and Kindergarten classes had special guest readers this week. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their love of reading with our students!


REMINDER: ATLAS summative testing begins next week! It is very important that students understand the cell phone policy during testing.
-All personal devices will be taken up before testing begins, including smartwatches.
-If a cell phone/smartwatch is accessed during testing, the device must be confiscated and will be sent to the District Test Coordinator to determine if a breach of security needs to be reported to Arkansas Department of Education.
-A student who accesses a cell phone/electronic device while the test is active will have the test invalidated.
For complete information on ATLAS summative testing, please see our most recent news post on the RSD website: www.rivercrestcolts.org/article/1479907
