Taconic Hills Central School District is currently operating on a two-hour delay today, December 5, 2024, due to weather conditions.
Breakfast will not be served. Please plan accordingly. Drive safely.
We will be hosting "Soup with the Superintendent" on Wednesday, December 18th from 4:45PM-6PM. 🫕
This event is an opportunity for community members to join us for a warm meal and discuss our anticipated electric bus rollout in the new year. During this time, attendees will have the chance to see the new buses and supporting infrastructure.
Our Superintendent Lynnette Brunger, Transportation Supervisor Bobbie-Jo Mato, Director of Facilities Nicholas Smith, and a representative from Thomas Bus will be present to address any questions or comments.
The NYS Environmental Bond Act of 2022 requires New York State to transition to a 100% zero emission electric school bus fleet by 2035. Our district is committed to leading this transition with careful planning and preparation to ensure the safety of our students and staff while embracing a more sustainable future.
To help us plan for the amount of refreshments needed, please scan the QR Code on the flyer below or click the link to sign up for Soup with the Superintendent: https://forms.gle/FxGuyF8uiJUhPMEu5
Community members, families, local law enforcement, and emergency responders are all welcome to attend. We hope you can join us for this meaningful conversation and work together to make this positive transition a success.
Last week, Mrs. Byrne’s 7th-grade Social Studies class brought learning to life with two of our school’s exciting new tech tools: the Active Floor and the Z-Space Laptop!
Using the Active Floor, students engaged in interactive games that helped them learn the shapes and names of states. They also explored U.S. landmarks through a series of clues and images, combining fun with valuable geography knowledge.
Meanwhile, the Z-Space Laptop offered students a fully immersive experience, allowing them to explore iconic landmarks from around the globe in 3D. This cutting-edge technology tracks the user’s eyes to make images pop out of the screen, creating a vivid, interactive experience. Students could manipulate the images—zoom in, explore inside, and uncover intricate details for a closer look.
These innovative tools, introduced this school year, have been a huge hit across all grade levels, transforming traditional lessons into unforgettable, hands-on learning adventures!
Congratulations to this week's Titan Strong Certificate Winners!
Dear Elementary Parents/Guardians:
Please be advised that the Elementary Fall Picture Retake date is Tuesday, December 10th.
The monthly calendar that was sent home shows dates of both Tuesday, December 10 and Friday, December 13. This is INCORRECT.
Thank you for your understanding.

This morning at approximately 11:30 AM, local emergency personnel were on-site at the District in response to a local medical emergency. As part of the response, the THCSD facility was utilized as a medical airlift site. We understand that the visible presence of emergency personnel, including police and medical teams, may have raised concerns among parents and the community. We want to reassure everyone that this situation was entirely unrelated to the District lockdown drill this morning or any other ongoing events within the District.
We appreciate your calmness and understanding during this event, and we are pleased to inform you that normal activities have now resumed.
A lockdown drill was held this morning, November 7, 2024 at Taconic Hills. Students and staff did a wonderful job.
Thank you to the emergency responders for their assistance with this drill.
Please be advised:
There will be no 4PM late buses on Monday, November 25. There will be no 4PM or 5:15PM late buses on Tuesday, November 26 due to the half day.

Today, our fantastic teachers embraced the Halloween spirit by dressing up as "Where's Waldo!" 🕵️♂️👓🤩
Students in grades 7-12 had a great time asking for clues about Waldo’s location, which took them to cities, states, countries, and famous landmarks! If they guessed correctly, they earned a ticket from their teacher! Students turned in their tickets at the end of the day, and Mrs. Byrne will announce the lucky winners on Monday morning!
Happy Halloween to all!!🧡💜🖤
