Uintah School District provided an update on the response to the cyberattack on the
District’s network that occurred in the early morning hours of April 9th. A letter sent on
April 18th to parents and guardians of students in the District stated, “This is an update
on our district’s ongoing network disruption. We continue to investigate the issue with
third-party specialists. Certain systems remain offline; however, we are pleased to
announce that we have made great progress in the recovery process and anticipate
systems coming back online in the near future.” Uintah School District had spring break
last week, allowing time for the District to address the issues. Classes resume as
scheduled today, April 21st. While students had been advised not to use their
Chromebooks, they are now able to and should bring them to school charged and ready to
go. District administrators, teachers and staff members were encouraged to arrive to work
earlier than normal today to allow time for logging into certain systems with new,
temporary passwords in order to reduce delays to the school day.
