Dear Parents and Guardians of the Hermon School Department,
We are writing to provide you with an update regarding the recent PowerSchool data breach that we were informed about last week. The breach occurred on PowerSchool's customer service portal called PowerSource. Please note, this incident occurred on PowerSchool’s systems and did not involve any servers or systems under the control of our school district.
According to PowerSchool, the breach involved the unauthorized access of personally identifiable information (PII), which primarily includes parent and student contact details, such as names, dates of birth, and addresses for all students within the Hermon School Department.
Across PowerSchool's customer base, it was determined that PII such as social security numbers (SSNs) and medical information was impacted in some cases. Unfortunately, medical information for some students in our district was compromised, and a very small number of social security numbers were also affected. We will contact the families of impacted students individually in the coming weeks as PowerSchool provides us with more detailed information.
Protecting our students’ information is a responsibility we take very seriously. With PowerSchool's assistance, we will share additional information and resources, including credit monitoring or identity protection services if applicable, as they become available.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we wait for PowerSchool to work through this situation. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
David Walker
Interim Superintendent
Our second grade students are working on their non-fiction unit. Students are reading nonfiction books about animals, and writing their own nonfiction pieces.

Students are having a blast playing in the snow outside at recess. Just a reminder that we do require students to have snow pants and boots in order to play in the snow. If students do not bring snow gear, we have some extras--but they are limited. Please reach out if you need help with these items.
Can you guess our pattern?
Hawk Pride!

Another successful concert season, thanks to our favorite music teacher.
