PowerSchool will be sending notices directly to affected individuals in the coming days. Experian (on behalf of PowerSchool) will also be distributing direct email notifications to involved students, parents/guardians and staff members.
ND Information Technology department (NDIT) strongly encourages affected individuals to take advantage of the complimentary identity protection services being provided by PowerSchool. The deadline to enroll in credit monitoring or identity protection services is May 30, 2025.
Please note that PowerSchool will NEVER contact you by phone or email to request your personal or account information.
Please visit https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/ for more information on how to take advantage of these services.
NDIT recommends that affected individuals monitor their financial accounts and credit reports regularly for any suspicious activity. Consider placing a credit freeze to prevent new accounts from being opened in your name. You can request a credit freeze by contacting each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
