Dear Hendrick Hudson Families:

There have been some recent reports of students in area school districts using a phone app called iGun Pro. This app depicts images of guns and makes the sound of gunshots while flashing the camera light. With so many news stories on gun violence in the media these days, this app clearly has the potential to incite fear and panic.

 

While there have not been any reports of this app being used in our school district, I want to make sure you are informed and have the ability to talk about it with your children.

 

As we strive to provide the safest possible learning environment for our students, we encourage you to:

 

  • Discuss with your children the danger of an app like this and how even something meant as a prank or a joke can have serious consequences.
  • Check your children’s cell phones for any apps that may be inappropriate or harmful.
  • Discuss inappropriate cell phone use with your children.
  • Immediately report any concerns to the school district or to the police department.


We take the safety of our students and staff very seriously and will always act out of an abundance of caution to ensure that all members of our school community are safe. Thank you for your support.


Regards,



Joseph E. Hochreiter

Superintendent
