As a school district we will be helping with student data verification and share this with the Cherokee Nation agency. If you refuse, it will not affect any government assistance that you or your child may be currently receiving. If you have questions regarding the project, please contact Cherokee Nation at 918-453-5257 or 918-453-5572.

Hello Wildcats,
Yesterday afternoon an email containing an adobe PDF was sent to everyone in the district including students, parents, employees and other school district contacts from a Welch employee. Since then another employees email account was compromised and was used to log into our database containing employee's financial information. We took quick and all necessary steps to reverse what actions the cyber criminals did along with working with our outside IT company and Sylogist.
No student or parent information was compromised nor obtained, it appears they were after financial information.
We were alerted asap, accesses were changed, passwords were changed, information deleted that was fraudulent, bank institutions were notified and we had all employees and have told students as well to change passwords asap and implement a 2-step Verification procedure if not already.
At this time, our outside IT company has and is continuing to run all necessary scans, logs and password resets.
We hear about cyber security situations daily and think it will never happen to me...let this be a lesson we all learn...
Change email and personal passwords frequently and use at minimal a 16 character password including numbers, letters, capital letters and other characters. If your email allows, setup a 2-step verification procedure. Monitor your bank accounts and any financial accounts for fraudulent activity.
We will update you if any more information comes to light...As always, thank you for your continued support of Welch Public Schools.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Ramsey, Superintendent
