Welcome to the Croton-Harmon Union Free School District!
On behalf of the Board of Education, administration, faculty and staff, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Croton-Harmon Tigers! Our school district prides itself on ensuring that our schools are dynamic and supportive places, where teachers and staff know their students and are as invested in their social and emotional growth as they are in their intellectual development. With a wide variety of learning approaches and programs, Croton-Harmon students can reach their full potential, develop the habits of mind and social skills necessary to become lifelong learners and be able to contribute positively to society. We feel great “Tiger Pride” in each of our students, and we are thrilled that you will be joining our school district community!

Non Resident Student Tuition Application

Please use the Registration Checklist, which outlines the required documents needed to complete the registration process. In an effort to streamline this process, we kindly request digital and/or scanned copies of the required documents. In the event this is not possible, you may still complete the online registration form and instructions for submitting paper copies can be found in Step 3.

When a child's parent(s)/guardian(s) request enrollment, the child shall be enrolled and begin attendance on the next school day, or as soon as practicable, unless the District receives sufficient documentation to make a non-residency determination on the date of the request for enrollment. Otherwise, the child shall be enrolled pending the final residency determination, to be made no later than 3 business days after the initial enrollment, or 4 business days if the parent(s)/guardian(s) do not present residency documentation and/or information until the 3rd business day after the initial enrollment.
