Dear Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,
We are writing with an update from our previous communication shared on January 20, 2025, regarding the cyber incident involving PowerSchool’s Student Information System – the application used by the ÎÛÎÛÂþ» and many school boards across North America to store certain student information.
We have now received additional information from PowerSchool on the availability of identity protection and credit monitoring services.
What is being offered?
PowerSchool is offering two years of complimentary identity protection services, provided by Experian, to students whose information was involved. For involved students who have reached the age of majority, in addition to Experian’s identity protection services, PowerSchool is also offering two years of complimentary credit monitoring services provided by TransUnion.
PowerSchool has provided instructions for signing up for these services , and we have also included the instructions below. PowerSchool’s notice suggests that Social Insurance Numbers were affected for some school boards. We want to remind you that ÎÛÎÛÂþ» does not store Social Insurance Numbers in the Student Information System and, as such, no Social Insurance Numbers were affected by this cyber incident. We will continue to provide additional updates as we receive them and post FAQs on ÎÛÎÛÂþ»’s website.
