TIS News

Congratulations to our students who participated in the STEAM fair this week.

We're proud of your achievements!

We want to provide you with an update regarding the recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, the software vendor that provides our Student Information System (SIS). As of January 29, 2025, PowerSchool initiated the process of notifying individuals whose information was determined to be involved.

As previously mentioned, PowerSchool has engaged Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, to provide complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services to current and former students and educators that had information exfiltrated from PowerSchool SIS. PowerSchool is doing this regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security Number was exfiltrated. In the coming weeks, Experian (on behalf of PowerSchool) will be distributing direct email notifications to involved individuals (or their parent/guardian, as applicable) for whom PowerSchool has sufficient contact information.

Additionally, PowerSchool has worked with Experian to set up a dedicated, toll-free call center to answer any questions associated with these offerings and the incident. All the information regarding the activation of and access to these services will be included in the email sent to you by Experian. Whether or not you receive an email, you may also visit PowerSchool’s website to learn how to activate the offering from Experian, linked here: http://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/. This is a good opportunity for free identity protection and credit monitoring services regardless of whether you were impacted.

Protecting our students data remains a top priority. Thank you again for all of your support and understanding during this time. If you have any immediate concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Please find below links to the 2025-26 and 2026-27 draft calendars. These can be found on the TSD website. The 2025-26 calendar will be finalized in February; but I do not expect it to change in any significant way from the draft linked here. The 2026-27 calendar represents a first draft, and will be finalized next year around this time. Any input on these calendars is always welcome. Thank you, John.

TIS kids who are participating in the Winter PE SKART Program (Ice Skating and Art with Ah-Haa) will have their work on display at BIT! This year's class is culminating in an exhibition at Baked In Telluride! Titled Stitched Stories: A Youth Fiber Arts Showcase, this show will be a vibrant display of weaving and fiber arts techniques. The students have all contributed to the planning, creating, and installation of the exhibit.

Join us in celebrating their achievement during Art Walk at BIT next Thursday, February 6th. There will be live music and refreshments (free pizza!) from 5pm-8pm. Their work will remain displayed throughout the month of February. I hope to see you
