A message from VLN: We understand how challenging the system performance issues we have experienced over the last week have been for the district and your cyber families and we sincerely apologize for the difficulties and frustrations they have caused. While we worked hard to anticipate and prepare for the impacts of a significant increase in enrollments in our programs due to the pandemic, we were unable to predict the effects certain aspects of this growth would have on our system. Over the last several days our Technology Team has worked tirelessly and we have taken significant steps to restore system performance, including the following actions: • Increased server capacity – processing and memory • Optimized core performance for main student interface during heavy workloads • Separated application and file servers for increased performance and scalability • Offloaded textbook downloading to a separate sever Specific to the past 24 hours, we’ve added a second server to handle the higher volume of system service calls. This additional server appears to have greatly improved traffic flow to and from the database. Additionally, we’ve also offloaded the textbook downloading to a separate server to resolve slowdowns in the system created by this functionality and to prevent download timeouts. We’re continuing to monitor traffic and system performance in both of these areas and will respond quickly to make any additional adjustments that are needed. We intend to provide daily updates on the system status moving forward to keep you well informed. As always thank you for your patience and support as we work to make this right for you, your students and your families.

A message from VLN: Our Software Team has been working diligently throughout the weekend and we have made significant progress in restoring access and performance throughout the system for students. The team continues to work on a detailed review of our entire code and additional adjustments will be made as we find it necessary to improve the user experience. Students will notice that in an effort to further streamline the system, we have temporarily removed the Progress Indicator Gauge and Individual Status Indicators that appear below each course. These tools will be added back into the platform in the future. We apologize for the frustrations caused by last week’s system issues and we want to assure you that we are fully committed to providing a successful learning experience for your students and families.

A message from VLN: We resolved initial capacity issues with the system earlier this week, however as many users have continued to experience significant issues and slow response times, we have brought in a team of outside consultants who are working around-the-clock with our team to complete a full code review to identify redundancies and inefficiencies that are impacting user access and system performance. We will be applying a set of initial fixes throughout the day today with the expectation that this will significantly improve performance and user access. We will then continue to review and apply additional fixes to further improve performance moving forward. We recognize the impact this has had on your district, staff, students and parents and we are committed to bringing this to a resolution as expeditiously as possible. Thank you for your continued understanding and commitment to the success of your students.

I.H.S. SPORTING EVENTS – It is mandatory that anyone attending a sporting event at I.H.S. or I.E.S. must wear a mask and social distance. This is even true at outdoor events. No one will be permitted to watch an event unless they are wearing a mask and sitting at least six feet apart. Exceptions to social distancing will be made for families but masks will be required by all spectators on school grounds. Those individuals not incompliance will be asked to leave the school grounds. This is a mandate set forth by the Governor of Pennsylvania. Junior high students will not be permitted at events unless accompanied by a parent.

From VLN: We are currently experiencing a technical issue with the VLNStudents.com site which is causing login errors and in some cases slowness in loading of pages within the portal for students who are able to get in. Our Tech Support Team is working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and I will provide more information on the resolution once I have an update. I know issues like these are disruptive and frustrating for everyone and I can assure you we are working hard to resolve the root cause of the problem.

SPORTS SPECTATORS - As per the recent regulations set forth by the state, spectators at sporting events will be very limited. There are very few tickets available for the home Football games. These tickets will be distributed to only the families of our seniors for football, cheerleading, and band. The number of tickets will vary with each game. With our other outdoor events, entrance to the event will be capped at 250. There will be no spectators at our indoor events such as Volleyball and Jr. High girls’ basketball due to that number being set at 25. In an effort to allow of the fans to see the events that are limited to spectators, we will be live streaming Iroquois Football, Volleyball, and Jr. High Basketball on our Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyosU9W0Sl0mOHVF5urOV_g
