UPDATE TO THIS MORNINGS SOCIAL MEDIA THREAT:

At approximately 6:30 AM, the Pelham Police Department received an initial complaint of a perceived threat against the Pelham Middle School.  It has been determined this morning’s social media threat was part of a nationwide viral social media challenge.  There were no direct or specific threats to the Pelham School District.  Further police investigation concluded the social media post was similarly directed toward multiple out of state schools with the similar PMS abbreviation as the Pelham Middle School.    To ensure the safety of the students and staff our district shifted to virtual instruction so a proper police investigation could determine the facts surrounding today’s incident. 

The Pelham Police have concluded there are no direct threats to the Pelham School District.  As a continued precaution, you will see a heightened police presence next week in and around the schools.
