The Yankton Middle School administration was notified of a recent TikTok post referencing a possible threat at the Yankton Middle School and reported immediately to local law enforcement to be investigated. All entities understand that situations involving social media can quickly create concern for students, staff, families, and our county.
We want to assure you that everyone is taking this matter very seriously. The juvenile connected to the post has been interviewed by local law enforcement, and the family is fully cooperating with the investigation. At this time, all agencies have confirmed that there is no active threat, and school will proceed as normally scheduled for September 8th, 2026.
As always, if anyone becomes aware of additional information that could affect school safety, please report it directly to your local law enforcement agency. This process allows law enforcement to filter the reports and can investigate the information appropriately.
Sincerely,
Yankton County Sheriff Preston Crissey
Yankton Police Chief Jason Foote
Yankton County States Attorney Tyler Larsen
Yankton School District Superintendent Dr. Wayne Kindle
Such a fun night, amazing level of play and great atmosphere!!
🎉 Apparently, we've been collecting some pretty great coworkers! ❤️🖤
Help us give a big YSD welcome to Heather, Morgan, and Mandy! While they each joined us at different times throughout the past year, we thought it was time to officially introduce these three smiling faces!
✨ Heather joined YSD in November as the Administrative Assistant to the Director of Student Services.
🚌 Morgan joined us in April as our Transportation Coordinator.
💰 Mandy came aboard in June as YSD’s Accountant.
They may work behind the scenes, but their work supports our students, staff, families, and schools across the district every day.
Kelley is happy to introduce them, and all of us at YSD are even happier to have them on Team YSD! 🎉
Give Heather, Morgan, and Mandy a big YSD welcome! 👋🎉❤️🖤
