A message from the Chippewa Falls School District
Dear Families,
All of our buildings were put on hold as a result of the PSA that went out at 1:25 PM. Based on updated information from law enforcement, Parkview Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary, Chi-Hi, and CFMS need to remain on hold as law enforcement addresses a situation near our Korger-Chestnut building. At this time, none of our schools have a direct threat; however, the above schools will remain in “hold” until we have verification from law enforcement that the situation is resolved.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this matter.
This is a developing story that will be updated when more information is available.
