Canvas, one of our learning management systems, is experiencing a security incident. As part of their investigation, they have proactively shut down access to their software. This is impacting school districts across the state and country.
We have also temporarily blocked access to the website through ClassLink and removed the link to Canvas from the district website. To help protect user accounts and information, staff and students should not attempt to log into Canvas while the situation continues to be evaluated.
It is important to be clear: this is an incident impacting our vendor, not Highline Public Schools or our own servers. The information we share with Canvas is limited to what is necessary to create student and staff accounts, which includes student names, grade levels and email school addresses, as well as staff names, role and email address.
Canvas’ team continues to investigate. We will share additional updates if we learn more about the impact of this incident.
Highline is committed to protecting student and staff information. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
