Woodbridge Township Families,
As you are well aware, there was a glitch today, March 17, 2025, with our notification system, Thrillshare, and resulted in messages going out to all of our 14,000+ students from some or all of our 24 district schools. As the error was on Thrillshare’s end of the system, our district could have shut down our entire network and the messages and alerts would still have gone out. Our analysts have received confirmation from Thrillshare that the issue with their data processing has been resolved and steps have been taken to provide reassurance that this does not occur again. We have also received confirmation that this was only an issue with attendance notifications; we were not hacked and there was no breach in student information or confidential data.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
Joseph Massimino, Ed.D.
