    Good afternoon Mendenhall Families. This Principal George Green with an important message.

    Guilford County Schools (GCS), in collaboration with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) PowerSchool security team, has been working to protect student data after an inadvertent error resulted in an incorrect attachment was shared in lieu of individual student report cards on Monday. The attachment contained the interim report cards of many students instead of individual report cards as intended. The erroneous communication was recalled later that day and all access to it was withdrawn. We have no reason to believe that anyone misused the data contained in the erroneous attachment, but we have been working with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and Powerschool to take every step to assure your students’ information remains private.
    Per the recommendation of the NCDPI security team, all student passwords have been reset to a unique password and students will be asked to change their password to a new unique password private to them on Monday, November 14, 2022. If homework assignments were given that require students to access Canvas or other tools using their NCEdCloud passwords, they will not be able to access these programs over the weekend but will not be penalized. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience to you. I ask that you please remind students that under no circumstance are they to share their password with anyone else because their password should remain private to them.

    Thank you for your support of Mendenhall Middle School.

Please have your child turn this note in to their homeroom teacher as soon as possible. This will allow their absences to be changed from unexcused to excused.
