Dear USEVS Families,
On Wednesday 1/7/25, the district was notified by PowerSchool, the platform that houses our student information, about a national data breach that took place on December 22nd. During this data breach, student and staff data was accessed. PowerSchool began an immediate investigation and has been provided reasonable assurance that the data was destroyed and not shared.
While the investigation is ongoing, here is what we currently know:
The compromised data includes two sets of information, one related to teachers and one to students. Most of this data involves demographic information such as names, addresses, emails, and phone numbers.
It’s important to note that while some accessed fields could potentially contain sensitive information (e.g., Social Security Numbers), our district does not typically store sensitive data in these fields.
This breach did not occur as a result of any actions by our district. It was accessed through a PowerSchool support account and was not due to a failure in our local data protection measures.
It’s also important to note that no other data, such as grades or course information, was compromised in this incident.
Next Steps:
The district will conduct a thorough internal audit to understand what data, if any, was affected. We have already started to review the data that was potentially impacted, and will share appropriate information as we are able.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through this situation. I will keep you informed as we learn more and provide any updates regarding additional steps or recommended actions.
We expect further guidance from PowerSchool (including a Frequently Asked Questions document), as they continue their investigation into this breach. As soon as we receive any updates we will be certain to pass them along to our community.
This is a friendly reminder to make sure your child's Chromebook is charged and ready to return to school tomorrow! Thanks, and hope you had a nice Winter Break!
A busy week with lots of fun activities!
We want to provide families with some Digital Wellness tips and strategies to consider during the winter break. These ten days are an opportunity to exhibit a healthy relationship with device use. Here is an exercise to try:
Commit to a plan around having no phones or devices out as family from out-of-town are visiting or if you are visiting others. Explain that it’s an opportunity to connect with family and anything online can wait.
Set an expectation for the entire family so parents/guardians can model a similar ability to know when it is appropriate to be on devices.
Find other times during the weekend as your family moves from one activity to another to preemptively define if this is a time the family has devices out.
By New Year's Day discuss questions with your children related to this activity, such as:
Did you feel more present with your family?
What was the most challenging part of the day for you?
What was the first thing you did when you got your device out? Why is that specific thing important to you?
Can you help our family create a plan to make this a more frequent practice?
