Online Safety Recommendations for Parents

Technology can be a very powerful and helpful learning tool for our students. When students are using technology, please make sure to monitor their activities closely. Remind students not to accept invitations to communicate with anyone they do not know and do not give out personal information when online.

Important Parent Notifications for Web-based Services and Applications 

In order for the District to continue to provide your students with the most effective tools to enhance their learning, school administrators and teachers may use educational web-based services and applications. Many of the Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policies of these applications state that, due to Federal Law, any users under the age of 13 must obtain parental permission to use their sites and often require an email address or other personally-identifying information. Our web-based learning will be operated not by the District, but by third parties, such as ZOOM.  In addition, some of the applications used are ClassDojo, YouTube, Google Meet, etc. 

For our students to use these programs and services, certain personal identifying information such as the student’s name and registered IDs must be provided to the web site operator, in this case, school administrators and teachers and ZOOM.  Under federal law entitled the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), these websites and the District must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information (photo/audio/video recordings) from children under the age of 13. For more information on COPPA, please visit https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/ 

The law (COPPA) permits the District to consent to the collection of personal information on behalf of all of its students, thereby eliminating the need for individual parental consent given directly to the web site operator (i.e. ZOOM, Google Meet, Etc.).  

ZOOM School and District Privacy Policy

If you have questions or concerns about your student participating in programs such as ZOOM, please contact your school's principal.
