Rivercrest will be offering the following ACT prep opportunities for its students in March:

In addition to this students in grades 9-12 have access to ACT Prep online through ACT Mastery Prep. They can access this anywhere, anytime. For information and help getting started with this please have them reach out to david.diagostino@smccolts.com.

We do not anticipate many open teaching positions for 2026 to 2027, but we know spring brings changes. If you are interested in Rivercrest, go ahead and get your name in early.

If you are looking for a place where students come first and teachers are supported, take a look at us.

Rivercrest offers a 4 day week, monthly perfect attendance incentives, low teacher to student ratios, competitive pay, and strong district pride.

Come see why Rivercrest teachers choose to work here, and why they stay. Apply today.

ARDOT Proposed Connector for I-22 and Highway 61

Rivercrest School District has formally expressed strong opposition to Option 3A, the proposed highway route that would run directly in front of our school campus.
Student safety is our priority.

We encourage parents and community members to share specific concerns in the official comment link below. If you choose to comment, consider addressing:

• Increased heavy truck traffic during student drop-off and dismissal
• Higher risk of accidents involving minors
• Bus safety concerns
• Speed limits and enforcement in a school zone
• Long-term air quality and noise exposure
• Impact on extracurricular events and evening traffic
• The availability of alternate routes that do not directly impact a school campus

A community meeting will be held February 26th at Rivercrest School District. We strongly encourage attendance so your voice can be heard in person.

In addition to the community meeting, please submit your comments here:

We remain opposed to Option 3A and will continue advocating for the safest outcome for our students.

We are excited to officially welcome Mr. John Burrow as the new PK-6 Principal at Rivercrest Elementary School beginning Fall 2026!
