Thursday, May 7, 2026 - Canvas is currently unavailable due to a cybersecurity incident

There has been a cybersecurity incident involving Canvas, our Learning Management System.

Instructure, the parent company of Canvas, notified us of a global cybersecurity incident affecting 275 million users across numerous educational institutions. We have been informed that PGCPS was one of the many impacted organizations. While personal information including names, emails and Student IDs was impacted, NO sensitive  information, such as dates of birth, passwords, financial information, was involved. PGCPS does not store that type of sensitive information or parent information in Canvas.

We are using this as an opportunity to reinforce the importance of exercising caution when communicating by email and remaining vigilant regarding suspicious messages, spam, phishing attempts, or other potentially fraudulent communications. 

We will continue to monitor the situation and remain in close communication with Instructure.

Resources

Pre & Post Program Resources

Have you signed up for a program through HBOSC?

For every field experience at HBOSC there are pre-visit and post visit materials to support the student learning process.  Pre-visit materials are optional activities to be completed prior to students participating in the field experience at HBOSC, which might be virtual (live) or on site at the center.  Post visit materials are optional activities that reinforce and extend learning beyond the field experience.  These materials are shared once a class has registered for the field trip.
