UPDATE - Canvas Instructure Breach Incident
Washakie #1 was notified last evening by Steve Daly, CEO Instructure that they have "reached an agreement" with the unauthorized actor involved in this incident. All data were returned, and we have been assured that any data gathered (from any university or K-12 school) will not be further shared on the dark web or elsewhere. Their cybersecurity insurance team received proof that all copies of data were deleted, and that no Canvas Instructure customers will be extorted - publicly or otherwise.
While core learning data (course content, assignment submission, account credentials) for Worland schools was not compromised, Washakie #1 felt it necessary to follow through with training and efforts to protect student privacy. All students with internal school emails have gone through password reset protocol forcing strong password rules. In addition, all students in grades 6-12 received lessons on email security and the ever-increasing potential for phishing scams. Students were instructed to protect their passwords, never to use the same password for multiple accounts, to watch for fake accounts, and to consult an adult if something seems wrong. For personal accounts, students were advised to use multifactor authentication whenever possible - especially with personal financial accounts.
As additional information comes in regarding the Canvas Instructure incident, we will keep you informed.
To the Washakie #1 Community:
By now you may have heard on the news that universities and K-12 schools across the country have been impacted by a data breach involving Canvas, the Learning Management System (LMS); all Canvas sites appear to have been shut down. The Wyoming Cyber Assistance Response Effort (CARE) Team is aware of, and is monitoring, the situation.
As a precautionary measure, District and Building Administrators will guide students through the password reset process, with brief lessons on Data Privacy and Online Safety measures. As new information comes in we will let you know.
Let us help ease that burden and give your child the opportunity to enjoy a fun, safe, and confident summer in the water.
Stop by the Worland Aquatic Center today to see if you qualify. While you are there, check out the dates and times to schedule your child's lesson.

Teamwork in a triathlon might sound a little strange at first—after all, isn’t it just one person voluntarily choosing to swim, bike, and run until their legs question every life decision? But triathlons are actually a great example of teamwork, proving that even individual sports require plenty of support, encouragement, and maybe someone reminding you where you left your bike.
Before race day, teamwork starts in training. Some athletes train solo, while others work out in groups—sharing miles, pacing each other, and providing motivation like, “You’ve got this!” or “Only 10 more miles!” (which somehow never feels encouraging at the time).
In relay triathlons, teamwork becomes even more obvious. One person swims, one bikes, and one runs—basically dividing the suffering equally. Each teammate specializes in their event, and success depends on both individual effort and smooth transitions… or at least remembering whose turn it is next.
This year, we’ll have seasoned athletes chasing personal bests, first-time participants wondering, “Whose idea was this?”, and plenty of competitors tackling the full event just to prove they can.
Of course, teamwork isn’t just for athletes. Behind every race is an incredible crew of coaches, organizers, volunteers, and community supporters working hard to keep everyone safe, hydrated, and moving in the right direction. Without them, triathlons would basically just be confused people swimming, biking, and running around aimlessly.
After the race, teamwork lives on through shared stories, celebrating victories, comparing sore muscles, and proudly showing off medals while walking funny for the next three days.
So grab your friends, your family, or at least someone willing to cheer for you, and join this year’s BIG HORN CHALLENGE TRIATHLON—where teamwork makes the dream work… and occasionally helps you remember where the finish line is.
