Dear Parents and Guardians,
On January 7th, 2025, PowerSchool notified affected board authorities that a security incident had occurred on their system. CrowdStrike, a third-party expert in these types of incidents, quickly contained the incident in December. Law enforcement is also involved and investigating.
This incident involved access to student and parent demographic data. PowerSchool is working with us to determine what was accessed in our system. PowerSchool has assured us that all unauthorized access has been shut down and that they have implemented increased security measures.
As usual, be alert and aware of potential phone and email scams and never give additional personal information over the phone or via email.
PowerSchool will provide additional communications in the coming days, including frequently asked questions and specifics about the compromised data. We will update everyone as we receive more information.
