Superintendent Update on Powerschool Data Breach
From the Superintendent - We want to provide you with an update regarding the recent PowerSchool data breach and the steps being taken to address it. PowerSchool has confirmed that some of our district’s records were accessed during the breach. They have assured us that they are committed to meeting all legal requirements related to this incident. Additionally, our district IT team is actively monitoring our systems to ensure no further unauthorized access occurs. According to PowerSchool, the data breach primarily involves parent and student contact information, including names and addresses. In some cases across their customer base, personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and medical information, was also affected. To support those impacted, PowerSchool has committed to: (1) Directly notifying individuals whose information was accessed; and (2) Offering Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring services to affected individuals. This was part of a large-scale international breach which appears to have significantly impacted PowerSchool’s capacity to respond as quickly as we would prefer. However, they assure us that they are working diligently to address the situation. For more information, including frequently asked questions, please visit PowerSchool’s incident page: SIS Incident | PowerSchool. Thank you for your understanding and patience regarding this challenging situation. If you have any immediate concerns, please feel free to reach out.

General Information
To participate in each Winter PE program your child must arrive at school on time. Parents and students should consider Winter PE a regular school day. Attendance and punctuality are expected. Attendance will be taken promptly at 8:10 am. Be early and allow extra time. Students start and end their day in the classroom. They may NOT be picked up early from the ski area. Any student who arrives at school unprepared will not be allowed to participate. If a student is ILL, they should stay home. Please notify the office by 8:00. 

Unloading your Child’s Equipment
Mark all equipment with your child’s name. Duct Tape and Sharpie work best.

KG~ all skis are to be dropped off and checked in with a Staff member. Kindergarten skis will go into specific ski group duffle bags. Your student will come to school with their ski boots on and enter through the basement. Check in with your teacher in the designated area of the basement for attendance. 
1st Grade~ All skis dropped off in front of the school in the school ski truck. Staff will be available to assist. Drop boots off in a designated area outside of the gym on the 1st floor. Students will keep their poles with them and go to class for attendance.
2nd Grade~ All skis dropped off in front of the school in the school truck. Drop boots off in the designated area on the 2nd floor entry by the Preschool. Students will keep their poles with them and go to class for attendance. 

Due to Limited storage space, it is necessary that you pick up your child’s ski equipment and take it home at the end of the day. Skis will be lined up on the front lawn for pick-up. Unfortunately, State regulations prevent skis from being transported on the bus. Please mark all equipment clearly with your child’s name so you will be able to easily identify it for pickup. Please use the stickers provided to label your child’s
Proper behavior ensures a fun and safe learning experience for all the students. Therefore, all school rules and behavior expectations for students apply during the Winter PE Program.

Update Emergency Contacts: Ensure Your Child's Safety
TSD Families,
As we begin the new year, it is essential that all parents and guardians review and update their emergency contact information. In the event of a snow day, emergency, or unexpected situation, we cannot release students to anyone who is not listed as an approved emergency contact. We suggest having at least 3 contacts on file and check the field "school pickup".
Please take a moment to verify that your contact details and designated individuals are up to date. You can update this information by following the instructions below:
  1. Logging into PowerSchool
  2. Navigate to “Forms” on the left-hand side of the screen
  3. Then select “Form A – Demographics and Student Contacts” 
  4. Under “Student and Family Contacts” is where you can add, remove, and update emergency contacts. 
  5. Once your contacts have been updated, please click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.
 
If you have questions or need help accessing your account, please reach out to your school’s administrative assistant.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter. Keeping your information current ensures we can respond quickly and appropriately to any situation for the safety and well-being of all students!
