Dear Families:
Yesterday, January 7, 2025, we were informed by PowerSchool, our Student Information System (SIS) platform, that they experienced an international cyber attack at the end of December. This afternoon, our data team was invited to a webinar by PowerSchool to learn more about the situation. We have confirmed that some of our data was accessed. Fortunately, the disclosed information did not include any students’ Social Security Numbers.
Essentially, the data accessed was the student's name, birthdate, address and similar information. The discernable data fields accessed can be found here.
In the webinar, PowerSchool shared their corrective actions and confidence that there is no further threat to the data.
While there is no indication that student passwords were compromised, we will supplement our daily monitoring system by providing students with new passwords in the next few days.
We have worked extensively to ensure security in our data systems, such as implementing a Multi-Factor Authentication process, geographic restrictions, suspicious login protections and other security measures. It is unfortunate that, in spite of these efforts, our data was accessed as part of the PowerSchool cyberattack. We will continue to work to ensure our data is secure and will ensure our Student Information System increases security protections.
PowerSchool is monitoring the situation, has engaged a cybersecurity remediation company to prevent future incidents, and will provide our staff with updates for our community. For questions related to PowerSchool’s security procedures, please visit PowerSchool’s website or email Security [at] PowerSchool.com.
Assembly speaker Dr. Blake Brandes presented on the black top to all Forest Hill Falcons. He explained how the brain is a muscle that can get stronger, and if you're not good at something, you say, "I'm not good at playing piano, yet" as an example. He had students share things they're not good at yet, and the list included math, tennis, reading, Minecraft, jewelry-making, and more. And then he delivered those items in an amazing on-the-spot rap, linked below. Dr. Brandes got the whole audience clapping and chanting, "If I keep going, my mind keeps growing!" An awesome message for every learner. Every classroom also received Dr. Brandes' newest book titled One More Try.
