Dear Parents/ Guardians,

This semester we’ll be working with a new tool to increase student engagement in our class. Flipgrid is the leading video discussion platform used by tens of millions of PreK to PhD educators, students, and families in more than 180 countries. Flipgrid allows us to spark a classroom discussion by providing a platform for your child to share short video responses based on questions posed by me, the teacher. This will help create an inclusive dialogue and engage with them in a fun and meaningful way.  I think Flipgrid will be a wonderful addition to our class, so I am asking for your permission for your child to use Flipgrid. Please review Flipgrid’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (https://legal.flipgrid.com/). In order to use Flipgrid some personal information about your child may be collected, but this information will be protected as Flipgrid describes in their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Please read these policies carefully, let me know if you have any questions, and then sign below to indicate you’ve read this and allow your child to participate. If you don’t agree to provide consent for your child to participate, please do not allow your child to use the Flipgrid code distributed in class. Students who cannot use Flipgrid may need to use other tools to complete assignments.

Please fill out the following electronic consent form ASAP.
