Croton-Harmon Union Free School District

Dear Croton-Harmon Community,

Please review this time-sensitive communication closely.

Late on Thursday evening, we were made aware of a social media post, allegedly made by a student at CHHS, which showed an unidentified individual carrying weapons. Immediately upon being made aware of this social media post, we contacted the Croton Police Department. Upon investigating the matter, Croton PD has informed us that there is no threat to our schools. After consultation with Croton PD and our district’s security consultants, school will be in session as normal at CHHS and each of our schools today. In order to provide our students and staff members with additional assurance, there will be Croton PD presence around our district today.

We are thankful for the rapid response of Croton PD to this matter, and also for the individuals who made us aware of the social media post. This is another example of how our school district community works together on behalf of our students, staff members, and schools.

If you have any questions related to this communication, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

Steve
