Dear UCSD Families & Staff, You may have received a letter today from PowerSchool. This was not Spam. Last month, UCSD was notified by PowerSchool about a potential cybersecurity incident that may have allowed unauthorized access to information through its customer support portal. PowerSchool is the system used by the school district to manage student and staff information and specific records, and the district takes every step to ensure that information is safe and secure. PowerSchool has informed the district that our data was breached. This includes access to stored information such as names, addresses and date of birth. We do NOT store social security numbers, so that information was NOT accessed in this incident. While news of this nature can be unsettling, we would like to assure you that we are continuously researching and reviewing ways to keep school district information protected. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Technology Department (tbolstad@ucsd.net) or the Superintendent (khanisch@ucsd.net or (907)581-7706. Sincerely, Kim Hanisch, Supt.

A message from the Unalaska City School District: Schools will open 2 hours later today due to poor driving conditions this morning. Student transportation will run 2 hours later than the normal schedule. Although we are not under a Category 1 or 2 weather warning, conditions early this morning were poor in areas of our routes. Breakfast will not be served. Lunch will be served. If families feel conditions are unsafe, they may keep their students home until conditions improve. Please call the school office to inform them of the reason for your student absence. This will be considered an excused absence.

To clarify previous email. Parents can pick up their students anytime between now and the end of the scheduled school day. Also, at this time, UCS students all have access to cell phones to ease family communication. If you have further questions, please call the school office. Thank you, Kim

Back to School News! As students return to school on Wed. Jan. 8th. Click on image for related information, including student achievement, EduTrack student fees, and winter weather procedures.

Jan. 2, 2025¬¬ Dear Families, Happy New Year! As our winter break comes to an end, I wanted to share a few important notes to help everyone transition smoothly back to school. School Resumes – Wednesday, January 8 We look forward to welcoming students back on Wednesday, January 8, with regular school and bus schedules. Our principals and staff are excited to see everyone return. We understand that student routines may have shifted during the break. To help ease the transition, we encourage families to start practicing regular school sleep schedules this weekend. Student Achievement As the first semester wrapped up, students in grades K-10 completed winter benchmark assessments (MAP and/or mClass). We are pleased to share that as a district, we have seen a 3% increase in the number of students meeting their projected growth goals in both math and reading. Additionally, more students are reaching proficiency or advanced levels! Our goal is for at least 80% of students to demonstrate growth and perform at grade level. While we are not there yet, we are making great progress! EduTrak and Student Fees A quick reminder that student fees (library, activities, etc.) will now be processed through EduTrak. This system offers convenient automatic payments and reminders, much like our meal service. We hope this makes it easier to stay informed and manage payments in one place. For families who prefer to make payments in person using cash, check, or credit card, that option remains available. Winter Weather As we all know, winter weather can sometimes lead to delayed starts, early releases, or school cancellations. Please know that student safety will always guide our decisions. Information about UCSD’s weather-related school closure process can be found here or on our district website. We will communicate any schedule changes at least one hour before buses begin their routes. However, conditions can change quickly. Parents are always welcome to keep their children home if they feel it is safer to do so. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to a great start to the new year and second semester! Sincerely, Kim Hanisch, Supt. Unalaska City School District (907)581-7706
