Update 5:01pm : The Vallivue School district posted a video to their facebook page with Deputy Chief Shawn Sopoaga from Caldwell and Deputy Chief Curt Shackle from Nampa.
They say the hoax was in conjunction with hoaxes that happened across the state on Wednesday.
They say the consequences to crimes like these can be severe.
“These are taken serious and there’s a lot of resources from the local, the state, and the federal side of law enforcement that will be looking into this and investigating it," Shackle said. "You could spend some serious time in prison if you are found to be perpetrating one of these hoax."
update 10:15am: Authorities have investigated and determined the anonymous bomb threat received is not credible. They continue to search and clear all school campuses in the District.
Remaining cautious and protecting students, the Vallivue School District schools will remain closed today.
Elementary students that have not been picked up are safe and warm in the portable buildings at their schools and will receive a lunch.
Parents can continue to pick up their children but must bring their identification to check out their students.
Original story:
An anonymous bomb threat identifying the Vallivue School District as a target has caused the district to evacuate all students and staff, according to a notification that went out to all district families Wednesday morning.
Out of an abundance of caution, all students already on campus are being sent home, those on buses are being returned home, and parents can pick their students up at the schools.
As of now, all students are safely being held away from school buildings.
Parents should be prepared to show identification when picking up students.

Authorities are currently investigating each campus.
More information will be provided as it becomes available.
