Dear MVSD Families,

In January of 2025, PowerSchool, a platform widely used for managing student information announced a cybersecurity breach. We understand that this situation may be concerning, and we want to assure you that our district is working diligently with PowerSchool and other partners to address the issue and safeguard your family’s data.

PowerSchool recently reported a cybersecurity incident that may have impacted student and staff information. While the full extent of the breach is still under investigation, PowerSchool has committed to providing two years of complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services through Experian for those affected. Specifically:

  • All students and educators whose information was involved will receive two years of complimentary identity protection services.
  • All adult students and educators whose information was involved will also receive two years of complimentary credit monitoring services.
  • These services are being offered regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security Number was exfiltrated.

PowerSchool has engaged Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, to provide these services.

Trusted Resources We encourage families to take proactive steps in protecting their personal and financial information. Below is a link to PowerSchool’s official statement on the breach, along with additional resources to help safeguard your family's data:

Next Steps We will continue to provide updates as more details become available. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we navigate this situation together.
