However, School Social Workers face these challenges with strength and resilience. School Social Workers rise up - supporting their students, families, and school communities. School Social Workers rise to share hope. They rise to listen and understand. They rise to challenge inequities. They rise to support all students.

Taconic Hills CSD held a lockdown drill this morning (12/6). Students & staff did a wonderful job. Thank you to local law enforcement for their assistance with the drill.

This morning at approximately 8:50am, the Taconic Hills facility experienced an electrical phase loss from the utility company. In response to this, the Buildings & Grounds team cut power to the building to prevent damage to the building’s electrical equipment. At no time were any students or staff in danger. The fire department and NYSEG were requested to respond to the facility as a precautionary measure. Students were dismissed according to their emergency dismissal plan as a precaution as well. The District is currently operating on generator power, and is working with an electrical contractor to assess damage & make necessary repairs. Thank you for your cooperation during this time. Dr. Neil L Howard, Jr.
