Dear Elwood Public School Family –
We are writing to make you aware of a recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, a software vendor which provides our Student Information System (SIS). You may be seeing this on the news or you may be reading about this data breach.
On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, PowerSchool informed our leadership team that they experienced a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool SIS customer data. Unfortunately, they have confirmed that the information belongs to some of Elwood Public School’s 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 social security numbers (SSN) and medical information, was impacted. They are working with urgency to complete their investigation and determine whether PII belonging to our students was included. It is not currently Elwood Schools procedure to keep Social Security numbers in PowerSchool. We will be working with PowerSchool to see what information has been compromised. We are also working with our insurance carrier and legal counsel and may take additional steps after it is determined by PowerSchool what Elwood data was actually breached.
Protecting our students and staff 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. We will be continuing to share information that we receive from PowerSchool about this breach.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Daren Hatch, Superintendent
Elwood Public School
