Dear Bellaire Families,

PowerSchool recently notified Northwest Education Services that regional schools' information may have been impacted by a recent cyber incident impacting PowerSchool's systems. We are actively working with PowerSchool to obtain additional information about the incident. Based on their current communication, it is expected that if your personal information was potentially impacted, PowerSchool will mail you a letter.

Please know that we take this situation very seriously and that the privacy and security of information are of the utmost importance to Bellaire. We do not have any additional information to share at this time, but we will keep you apprised of any relevant developments as the investigation continues.

As PowerSchool investigates who was impacted, it is their legal responsibility to contact users who were directly impacted. This is a local, regional, state, national, and international PowerSchool issue.

Respectfully,

Terry J. Starr, Superintendent
