Dear Putnam Valley Community:
I want to provide an update regarding the potential threat reported to our high school Monday afternoon. After a thorough investigation regarding a potential threat involving high school students, authorities have determined that the threat is not credible and there is no danger to our school community.
We know situations like this can be unsettling, and we appreciate your patience and support. Thank you for understanding that the information we can share is limited to maintain student privacy.
We remain committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for everyone in our schools and take all reports seriously. We commend our staff and local law enforcement for their swift response. To provide additional reassurance to families, students and staff there will be increased law enforcement on campus in the morning.
As always, we encourage students, staff, and families to report any concerns to school administrators. Do not hesitate to direct urgent or emergency situations to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our schools safe.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jeremy Luft
Superintendent of Schools
