Students were initially set to return to in-person learning on Nov. 4. Student will instead return on Nov. 9, after hacking issues have been addressed.

After the hack, the district says much of the grading and scheduling systems have been compromised.

"Our grading and scheduling systems, student class list creation module, printing and copying capabilities, and bus route creation software have all been affected. Full internet capabilities are not yet restored and are coming back in phases across our buildings," Superintendent Kenneth Gutman said in a letter to students and parents.

The revised return to in-person learning outline is available here.
