On two of the nicest days this year, students at Ridgecrest Elementary had to stay inside for recess.

After a full lockdown on Tuesday, the school was on modified lockdown Wednesday, as the principal and some teachers continued to receive threatening emails.

District spokesperson Craig Degginger said “modified lockdown,” includes keeping kids inside the building throughout the day and locking all exterior doors. Additional police officers are also on campus and patrolling the neighborhood around the school.

Science Night, scheduled for Tuesday night, was cancelled.
