Important Technology Update

Yesterday, Rochester Public Schools discovered irregular activity on its network. RPS Technology staff responded immediately and shut down district-wide internet connection to review and address the issue.
RPS Technology staff are working with third-party cybersecurity experts to conduct a detailed examination of RPS systems and data. As we undergo this review, students will not be able to access their RPS Google accounts. Staff will be unable to access their RPS Google accounts beginning later this morning. Please note that phones at school district buildings are also currently not operating.
We will provide an update here on our website, and via our Skylert messaging system when we have more information, no later than Sunday evening.
