Message from Dr. Julie Williams:
Dear Alton R-IV Families,
Earlier today, a potential threat circulating on social media was brought to the attention of AHS building administrators. The social media posts were made in a group chat by students who attend Alton Junior High. The matter was promptly investigated, resulting in the immediate suspension of the students. Law enforcement officers have been notified and are continuing to investigate.
We deeply appreciate the students who came forward with information regarding the threat. The importance of reporting any type of suspicious or potentially violent activity cannot be overstated. Parents and guardians, please continue to have open conversations with your children and encourage them to say something to an adult if they see something out of the ordinary. It takes all of us working together to ensure the safety of our school community.
Alton R-IV phone lines are down until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience.
STATE BOUND COMETS!

Alton Elementary School is seeking a business sponsor for our Comets Who Care program. Comets Who Care is an organization that emphasizes volunteering and finding ways for students to give back to the community.
Students are chosen based on job selection criteria
- Only open to 5th Graders
- Must submit application, resume, and recommendations
- Most maintain exemplary grades, attendance, and behavior
- Must complete a job Interview
We would love for our business partner to participate in the job interview process and with the selection of students. We may also ask for minimal funding to help supply materials for community projects.
If you are interested in helping with this initiative, please contact Tonya Willard, Elementary Counselor.
Please note the change of date will now be MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2022. Order forms will go home on Monday. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Cockrum.
