Written By: Robert Cox

More excitement for New Rochelle High School students — after bomb threats, snow days, student/teen porn sites, now they have school “cancelled” by a hacker.

School officials are still investigating how someone got into the schools e-Chalk site and created two “prank” announcements.

The first one was a calendar event purporting to cancel school today due to a teachers conference:

Talk of the Sound notified school officials who sent out this message shortly after midnight:

The second one was a weather announcement purporting to cancel school today due to a snow storm:

The Nyan cat video was a popular internet meme a couple of years ago:

Students reacted with mixed emotions to the prank. Not all responses are Safe for Work so be warned.

The New Rochelle School District has issued a statement:
