Dear Parents and Guardians,
A nationwide breach involving PowerSchool’s support portal has impacted some student and teacher data. Out of an abundance of caution, access to PowerSchool has been temporarily locked down as of 12:00 PM today for any user who is not connected to the state network, StageNet This means that access from outside the school network will be unavailable after this time. North Dakota Information Technology (NDIT) is working with PowerSchool and districts to evaluate the scope of the incident. We also recommend changing your PowerSchool password as a precaution. We want to provide you with the details of this incident and what steps are being taken to ensure the security of your information.
WHAT HAPPENED:
On December 28, 2024, PowerSchool discovered unauthorized access to certain data in one of their customer support portals (PowerSource). PowerSchool identified that only specific users whose information was marked in certain system configurations may have been affected.
WHAT'S BEING DONE:
PowerSchool has activated its cybersecurity response protocols and brought in third-party cybersecurity experts. Access to the affected portal has been secured. PowerSchool has confirmed there is no evidence of malware or ongoing unauthorized activity.
NEXT STEPS FOR PARENTS:
Change your PowerSchool password as a precaution. Create a strong password that you do not use for other accounts. Monitor communications from your school for updates as additional information becomes available. The next update on this incident will be sent out on January 17 by noon.
KEY POINTS TO KNOW:
PowerSchool continues to investigate and will provide updates if any new findings emerge.
NDIT is collaborating with PowerSchool and districts to assess the scope of the incident and provide assistance.
We understand that cybersecurity concerns can be unsettling, but rest assured, every effort is being made to safeguard your information. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your district directly or consult the PowerSchool-provided FAQs (https://help.powerschool.com/t5/Support/ct-p/Contact-Support)
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we address this situation.
Mrs. Hurtt

In December, we celebrated students who embody the character trait of Kindness! These incredible students have shown compassion, generosity, and thoughtfulness to those around them. Whether it’s lending a helping hand, offering a kind word, or including others, they have set a wonderful example at school!
Congratulations to our December Students of the Month! Thank you for spreading kindness and making our school a better place. Keep shining bright! 🌟
Tiny Titans Basketball Camp is in full swing at Hoople Elementary! Reminder that our performance nights for PK-2nd grade participants are Monday, January 20th in Edinburg and Friday, February 7th in Crystal!
The 2024-25 national FCCLA theme is "Dare to Dream". Our high school FCCLA chapter has had several opportunities to tour area businesses relating to the CTE Career Clusters of Agriculture (Food Science), Arts and Design (Fine Arts) and Hospitality, Events and Tourism (Event Planning). These tours allowed students to see first-hand how individuals turned their dreams into careers. In October the students partnered with Rolla FCCLA and toured Badman Designs and All-Seasons Garden Center in Grand Forks. November brought a visit to the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks and meeting with doctorate-level scientists and registered dietitians. The highlight was meeting with Sierra Jensen, a 2018 Valley-Edinburg graduate who now works as the VP of Events and Activation for the Grand Forks Downtown Development Association. She spoke about her membership in FCCLA during high school, her decision to compete with a STAR project and how her top 3 placing at the national FCCLA STAR competition in 2018 positively impacted her and her career choices. The students had food, games and a gift exchange in December. Several students have also been contacting resources and partners, planning activities and fundraising for this year's chapter STAR projects. Stay tuned for posts about these exciting projects! Mrs. Fingarson and her 17 FCCLA members would like to thank you all for your willingness to support our projects!

Merry Christmas!
We will do a Virtual Learning Day at Valley-Edinburg today, Thursday, December 19, due to inclement weather. There will be no in-person learning. Tonight's PK-6 Christmas concert will be rescheduled to tomorrow - more information on time to come shortly.
Valley-Edinburg School will be 2 hours late tomorrow morning, Thursday, December 19. There will be no morning ESP. Please watch for more weather-related updates.
Mrs. Fingarson’s Culinary Arts students have had a great semester! One highlight was the Gonzalez family sharing how to prepare Espagueti Verde (Green Spaghetti). Next was Susan, Kelli and Lucy Vivatson donating potatoes and teaching us how to make traditional Norwegian lefse. Students loved connecting with these volunteers, gaining both cooking skills and cultural insight. During December the students gained real world catering experience when preparing the augratin potatoes for the yearbook fundraiser meal and the bar cookies for the 7-12 grade Christmas concert!
If our PK-6 Christmas concert must be postponed due to stormy weather tomorrow, Thursday, December 19, please indicate in the survey link below which time would be best for your family's schedule. We will try our best to accommodate the best we can if we must postpone.
Please keep in mind that we have lot to work around in order to make this concert work. We've already heard from a number of families that Saturday is full of family Christmases, affecting students, families, and staff. On Friday night we have a double-header, boys and girls basketball JV and Varsity games in Park River, also affecting both student families and staff. Our PK-2 grade students are scheduled to go to a movie at the Lyric Theater on Friday morning, and the earliest they would be able to perform is 2PM. Please keep in mind, also, that bussing will need to be adjusted when we know the potentially rescheduled concert time. As you can see, finding a time that will work for everyone's schedule is going to be difficult. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Again, this is all in anticipation of not being able to have school tomorrow. If we are able to go to school, we will perform at 7PM as scheduled in Crystal. https://forms.gle/qGhpeNnMrcd4YLmc9
