A Message to Families from Mrs. Cleghorn and Mrs. Rector
Our hearts are with the family and friends who are grieving the loss of a Riverton Parke student who passed away in a car accident on Friday. Even though this student did not attend our school, news like this can feel very close to home and may impact our students in different ways.
We want you to know how this will be addressed at the elementary level. Teachers have been provided guidance to keep any conversations brief, factual, and age appropriate. If students bring it up, teachers may acknowledge that a Riverton Parke student passed away in a car accident; however, they will not share details about the accident or speculate about circumstances. The focus will remain on maintaining consistent routines and supporting students’ emotional needs.
At school, we will continue to provide structure and a sense of normalcy while also being especially mindful of students who may need extra support, reassurance, or a quiet place to talk.
If this comes up at home, allowing your student to share what they have heard and how they are feeling can be very helpful. Simple, honest responses are best. You might ask, “What have you heard?” or “How are you feeling about this?” Reassure them that it is okay to have different emotions and that there are caring adults here to support them.
Students process difficult news in different ways. Some may express sadness or worry, while others may not show much outward reaction. All of these responses are normal.
If you notice lingering changes in your student’s mood or behavior, or if you would like your student to have the opportunity to speak with one of us, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Please know that we care deeply about our students and families. We are here to support you and your student during this time.
You can contact us through the SWP/Rooms app, via email (cleghorna@swparke.k12.in.us and/or rectora@swparke.k12.in.us) or phone 765-548-2454.

The Southwest Parke Community School Corporation and Riverton Parke High School are saddened by the accident today involving one of our students. Counselors from the corporation, North Central Parke, and Hamilton Center are available at RPHS to help students and staff process all that has taken place. We will continue to provide support as needed throughout this process. Our thoughts and prayers are with those nearest to the situation.
Enjoy the February 2026 edition of Hotshot Happenings!
The Southwest Parke Board of School Trustees will meet in regular session tonight - Tuesday, February 10, 2026 - at 7 PM at the RPHS Cafeteria. The public is invited to attend this meeting.
REMINDER
If your student has a change to their end of day transportation, a note or phone call to the office is required (preferably by 2pm). Students will then receive a Change of Transportation note to ensure all staff are aware of the change and to help us keep students safe.
Please note that this includes staying after school for any reason or riding a different bus for practices or sporting events.
