January 27, 2025 Update from Powerschool

This afternoon, PowerSchool began the process of filing state attorneys general notifications across applicable U.S. jurisdictions on behalf of customers who did not opt-out of our offer to do so.

In the coming days, PowerSchool will begin providing formal legal notice of the cybersecurity incident to current and former students (or their parents / guardians as applicable) and educators whose information was determined to be involved.

A direct email notification will be distributed by Experian on behalf of PowerSchool in the coming weeks to applicable current and former students (or their parents / guardians as applicable) and educators for whom we have sufficient contact information. PowerSchool will also launch a website and distribute a media release to ensure we reach as many involved individuals as possible and provide them with resources to protect their information. Importantly, these notices will include instructions for involved individuals on how to enroll in the credit monitoring and identity protection services that are being offered by PowerSchool.

PowerSchool is dedicated to keeping our community informed and will offer further resources as they become available.

Please stay vigilant—PowerSchool will never contact you by phone or email to request your personal or account information.

PowerSchool has released a website where families and parents can learn more about what happened, what resources are available or will be available and the steps PowerSchool is taking. Learn more through the link below
