“Clovis High School is currently in a Shelter in Place. This is to keep students indoors and limit outside movement around campus while we work with Clovis Police Department to investigate a suspicious call that was made to our school.

“We are also aware that schools in a neighboring district have also received similar calls that are being investigated by local agencies. You can find more details, and news of safety procedures and parents’ roles during such events on our website: https://www.cusd.com/school-safety.

“Parents have been notified of this safety protocol and will be kept informed until its conclusion.

“Clovis Elementary had already released for the school day and students still on campus for afterschool programs will remain indoors until the Shelter in Place is lifted at Clovis High School.”
