Caldwell Families,
We are writing to update you on the recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, a software vendor which provides our Student Information System (SIS).
Earlier this week, PowerSchool informed our leadership team that they experienced a worldwide cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool SIS customer data. Unfortunately, they have confirmed that the information belongs to some of our Caldwell School District families and educators.
PowerSchool informed us that the taken data primarily includes parent and student contact information with data elements such as name and address information. Across their customer base, they have determined that for a portion of individuals, some personally identifiable information (PII), such as medical information, was impacted.
Protecting our students and staff privacy is something we take seriously. With PowerSchool’s help, more information and resources (including credit monitoring or identity protection services if applicable) will be provided to you as it becomes available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
