International Falls Independent School District 361

No School for ISD 361 on Monday September 12, 2022 The International Falls School District is currently experiencing issues with our network that are causing a disruption to some of our computer systems. We are working diligently with a third-party incident response team to investigate this matter and restore full functionality to our systems as quickly as possible. We have significant resources devoted to this process and our work to resolve this issue is ongoing. As a result of such systems operations issues, we will not be in session on Monday, September 12th. We appreciate your patience and understanding and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Any questions can be directed to Superintendent Kevin Grover at (218)-283-2571 ext. 1112 or via email at kgrover@isd361.org There are no issues if students use their Chromebooks or log onto our system. Skyward and other platforms may not be functioning as they should as we work to address the situation. One step in this process will require all users to reset their passwords when they log back onto the system and this will be forced upon log in. We are working as quickly as possible to be back at operational capacity. Further information will come on Monday. Extracurricular practices and activities may take place as scheduled.

Great way to end the 1st week! Thanks John.
