Important note from Superintendent John Pandolfo
We want to provide you with an update regarding the recent PowerSchool data breach and the steps being taken to address it. PowerSchool has confirmed that some of our district’s records were accessed during the breach. They have assured us that they are committed to meeting all legal requirements related to this incident. Additionally, our district IT team is actively monitoring our systems to ensure no further unauthorized access occurs. According to PowerSchool, the data breach primarily involves parent and student contact information, including names and addresses. In some cases across their customer base, personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and medical information, was also affected.
To support those impacted, PowerSchool has committed to: (1) Directly notifying individuals whose information was accessed; and (2) Offering Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring services to affected individuals. This was part of a large-scale international breach which appears to have significantly impacted PowerSchool’s capacity to respond as quickly as we would prefer. However, they assure us that they are working diligently to address the situation. For more information, including frequently asked questions, please visit PowerSchool’s incident page: SIS Incident | PowerSchool. Thank you for your understanding and patience regarding this challenging situation. If you have any immediate concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Where: Hanley Rink
When: Wednesday Feb 12 from 6:00 to 7:30PM
Note: For those that need Skate Rentals, parents need to sign a waver. There are copies of the waiver in Spanish and English at the TIS front desk.
What's next: Kids should save the date! Parents should be on the lookout for a signup genius with different ways to volunteer to help with this event. Parents should also sign a waiver and give it to Dori Crowe if their kids will need skates from the Nordic Center (free of charge).
Teachers will be meeting during Winter PE to identify ways to improve student learning – including reviewing student data and identifying strong instructional practices. Healthy treats would really make long meetings more palatable. If you'd like to contribute healthy snacks for our teachers please bring them to the front office on Winter PE mornings. Thanksfor your support!
