We want to inform you of a security incident involving Instructure, the company operating our Canvas learning management system that is used primarily at the middle and high school buildings. Late yesterday, the company informed the district of a data breach, stating that they secured their systems and notified law enforcement.

What happened

Instructure recently experienced a cybersecurity incident and notified our district that some Canvas data has been accessed. This includes names, email addresses, student Canvas ID numbers, and messages within Canvas. At this time, there is no indication that passwords, birthdates, or government ID numbers were affected.

What this means

This incident is part of a larger, nationwide issue affecting many schools. The investigation is ongoing, and we will share updates if we receive more information.

What you should do Please take a few simple precautions:

• Be cautious of emails, calls, or texts about Canvas or school accounts

• Do not click on unexpected links or attachments

• Never share passwords or verification codes

• Report any suspicious messages using normal district procedures

Please be assured that the district is actively monitoring this situation and will communicate further if any important updates or recommendations become available.
