[9/12/24] We would like to give you an update on our monitoring and response to recent social media posts. Part of the social media scare yesterday involved a list of several hundred schools that someone had downloaded from TEA (targeted support list) and then posted with statements threatening gun violence on 9/11. Rains is on the list with hundreds of other schools. Last night a copy of a text message began circulating among our local community saying they had seen the list of schools and that people should be careful. The texter names schools in the area that they saw on the list including Rains and several others. This text appears to be based on the list from yesterday and does not seem to be a threat. Our security protocols remain in place and safety remains our top priority. Joe Nicks Superintendent Rains ISD

[9/11/2024] Rains ISD is aware of a concern being caused by an intimidating social media post against many schools. This same disruptive act has occurred in states other than Texas. There are currently no specific or credible threats made against Rains ISD. We continue to monitor the situation and have assured our security measures are in place. Please be assured that the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Joe Nicks Superintendent Rains ISD

Today we remember, honor, and reflect with strength and unity. ❤️🤍💙 #NeverForget #PatriotDay

Good luck to all our students competing in the different events hosted at the Rains County Fair! 🎡🎠 Remember to work hard, be safe, and have fun! 💙 #WeAreRains

The kindness, encouragement, and willingness to stand by one another is a testament to the power of community, and for that, we are truly grateful.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our neighboring school districts and local churches for stepping in during our time of need. Your support in providing additional counselors on campus has made a significant difference in helping our staff support our students through this tough time of loss. Together, we are stronger, and your kindness exemplifies the true spirit of community. Thank you for being there for us when it mattered most! 💙

In a heartfelt show of unity, we invite everyone to come together and wear blue on Wednesday, September 4th, to honor the lives lost in a tragic event that has deeply affected our community. By donning this color, we not only show our respect for the precious Grandy family but also demonstrate our collective strength and resilience during this incredibly challenging time. We extend our deepest gratitude to all the surrounding school districts and community members who have expressed their love and support in the midst of this tragedy. Your acts of kindness and solidarity mean more than words can convey. Together, let us stand united in blue, embodying the hope and compassion that binds us as one community. 💙
