Honoring Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On Monday, January 18, 2021, we will honor and celebrate Dr. King, a giant of the civil rights movement whose nonviolent resistance to the injustices of his era — racial segregation, employment discrimination, and the denial of the right to vote — enlightened our Nation and the world.

SkillsUSA Fundraiser

The Royal SkillsUSA team partnered with a local Scentsy sales rep to create a fully virtual fundraiser. A percentage of the sales from anything ordered from the RISD fundraiser page will go to the RISD SkillsUSA team. The person purchasing will pay thru the website and the items will be shipped directly to the buyer, making this a 100 percent CDC compliant fundraiser and eliminating the need to pick up any orders.

Thank you in advance for supporting our Falcons!

Scam of the Week: Watch Out for US Capitol and Parler Scams

Last week, a rally held in the United States Capitol escalated when protestors stormed the Capitol building. This event was later linked to posts on the social media platform Parler. The controversial events at the Capitol and related use of Parler has led both Apple and Google to remove the app from their respective app stores.


Cybercriminals use high-profile news stories like this to catch your attention and manipulate your emotions. In the coming weeks, we expect to see cybercriminals referencing this event and the Parler app in their phishing attacks and social media disinformation campaigns.

Here are some tips to stay safe:


  • Watch out for Parler-related emails—especially those that offer an alternative way to download or install the app.
  • Be suspicious of emails, texts, and social media posts that contain shocking developments to the story. This could be false information designed to intentionally mislead you—a tactic known as disinformation.
  • No matter how shocking the news, always think before you click. Cyber attacks are designed to catch you off guard and trigger you to click impulsively.
