Students at the St. Patrick School on Chatham Street were sheltered in place and then evacuated due to the factory-sealed package, that was delivered Friday among a pallet of school traffic safety equipment, the borough's police department said.

Members of the Morris County Sheriff’s Office assisted Chatham Borough Police with a precautionary sweep.

Parents were notified and school grounds were deemed safe, police said.
