From the Superintendent
We want to provide you with an update regarding the recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, the software vendor that provides our Student Information System (SIS).  As of January 29, 2025, PowerSchool initiated the process of notifying individuals whose information was determined to be involved. 
 
As previously mentioned, PowerSchool has engaged Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, to provide complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services to current and former students and educators that had information exfiltrated from PowerSchool SIS. PowerSchool is doing this regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security Number was exfiltrated. In the coming weeks, Experian (on behalf of PowerSchool) will be distributing direct email notifications to involved individuals (or their parent/guardian, as applicable) for whom PowerSchool has sufficient contact information. 
 
Additionally, PowerSchool has worked with Experian to set up a dedicated, toll-free call center to answer any questions associated with these offerings and the incident. All the information regarding the activation of and access to these services will be included in the email sent to you by Experian. Whether or not you receive an email, you may also visit PowerSchool’s website to learn how to activate the offering from Experian, linked here: http://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/.  This is a good opportunity for free identity protection and credit monitoring services regardless of whether you were impacted.
 
Protecting our students data remains a top priority. Thank you again for all of your support and understanding during this time. If you have any immediate concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you,
John Pandolfo
Superintendent

2025-26 Caledar DRAFT update
Please find below links to the 2025-26 and 2026-27 draft calendars. These can be found on the TSD website. The 2025-26 calendar will be finalized in February; but I do not expect it to change in any significant way from the draft linked here. The 2026-27 calendar represents a first draft, and will be finalized next year around this time. Any input on these calendars is always welcome. Thank you, John.

 
Thank you,
John Pandolfo

URGENT~ 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!
