Thank you to our partners in CPPD, our parents and community, and the great work of our CPPS staff for keeping kids safety as the top priority.  The district has concluded that the information received was based on rumor and fear stemming from the shooting that took place in Walla Walla yesterday and that no ongoing threat exists to CPPS, its students, and its staff.  We look forward to a great day Monday!

CPPS Update: All CPPS schools are operating normally. CPPD received information of a threat at CPHS, but all indications are that it was related to the events that took place yesterday with a shooting in Walla Walla that led to a chase on Highway 125 by CPHS. No direct threat has been received or confirmed; only rumors. CPPS and CPPD are continuing to partner to provide additional supervision.
