At approximately 9:15 the district was made aware, by PA State Police, of
screenshots circulating a snapchat message alleging violence against a school. The
messages did not indicate a particular school as a target since the message was very general.
Pennsylvania State Police were made aware of this last night and have been working into the night to follow every possible lead to determine both the origin and validity of the message.
Ultimately, with the resources of PSP, they were able to determine these messages were part of a larger Snapchat hoax and there is no credible threat to our schools. We have learned the message can be traced to Frederick County, Virginia.
Attention Parents/Guardians:
There were questionable emails sent to students at the middle school and high school. Some of the emails contained disturbing images. We were made aware of this situation this morning and took immediate action to lock the accounts and go through each account individually. Our IT department is working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Thank you.
The Tussey Mountain Middle School and High School bell schedule is now posted on the website at: tmsd.net. The Middle School and High School schedule has changed slightly. The Elementary School schedule has no change. School bus pick up times may be 5 to 10 minutes earlier than last year. Thank you.
SAVE THE DATE!
