WSIPC

Juneteenth is a day of celebration, reflection, and pride, and a time to honor freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

Today, we celebrate and reaffirm our commitment to working together to build a future where every student, educator, and community member feels valued, supported, and empowered.

Our strength comes from the diverse experiences, perspectives, and voices that make up our Cooperative. Together, we learn, grow, and move forward as One Team.

Today on National Children's Day, we celebrate the students at the heart of everything we do.

Every report generated, every family connection strengthened, every classroom supported, and every technology solution implemented ultimately serves one purpose: helping students succeed.

We’re proud to support Washington's schools with the tools, data, and services that empower educators, engage families, and create opportunities for over one million students across our Cooperative.

Because when schools have the right technology and support, they can spend more time focusing on what matters most, helping every child learn, grow, and thrive.

Happy National Children's Day to the students who inspire us every day.

🔐 Cybersecurity Takes All of Us! 🔐

When it comes to protecting our schools, cybersecurity isn't just the responsibility of IT teams, it's a team sport.

A few cybersecurity fundamentals continue to make a big impact:
✅ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a powerful layer of protection against unauthorized access.
✅ Ongoing training and awareness help staff stay ahead of constantly evolving cyber threats.
✅ A culture of vigilance empowers everyone to recognize and report suspicious activity quickly.
✅ Secure, tested, offsite backups provide a critical safety net when the unexpected happens.

Through WSIPC's Purchasing Program, districts can access awarded cybersecurity and safety solutions designed to strengthen security, support compliance, and save valuable time and resources.

Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. When schools stay informed, proactive, and connected, we build stronger defenses and create safer learning environments for our students, staff, and communities.

What happens after graduation? That's one of the most important questions schools can ask!

Tomorrow is National Higher Education Day, and we're celebrating the power of data to help districts better understand and support students beyond high school.

For years, tracking postsecondary outcomes meant spending hours sorting through complicated spreadsheets. FOYOST (Follow Your Student) changes the game by transforming National Student Clearinghouse data into secure, actionable, easy-to-use dashboards that bring student outcomes into focus.

With instant data disaggregation, districts can:
• Identify opportunity gaps
• Measure the impact of programs and initiatives
• Better support students on their college and career journeys
• Make data-informed decisions that promote equitable outcomes

Because every student deserves the opportunity to thrive after graduation, and every district deserves the tools to see what's working.

This National Higher Education Day, let's celebrate the insights that help turn student success into lasting impact.

National Safety Month is a great time to think about all the layers that help keep our schools safe. From protecting networks and sensitive data to securing buildings and supporting emergency preparedness, school safety takes teamwork and the right tools.

That's where WSIPC RFP 22-05 Managed Security & Physical Security Solutions comes in. Through our awarded vendors, your district has access to trusted solutions for cybersecurity, threat monitoring, access control, surveillance, visitor management, and more, all through a streamlined cooperative purchasing process.
