SUMMARY:
On October 07, 2015, Silver Valley High School was scheduled for a minimum day. At approximately 10:30am, a student received a threatening message via social media.

The student reported the message to school staff, who immediately initiated a lock-down of the campus and notified Deputy Rodriguez, the School Resource Officer. A search of the campus was conducted while students remained inside locked classrooms. The search of Silver Valley High School revealed no suspicious persons, vehicles or objects. Additional deputies from the Barstow Sheriff's Station responded and the students were escorted to their respective bus.
