In order for Father John V. Doyle School to continue to provide your student(s) with the most effective tools to enhance their learning, the school administration and teachers may use educational web-based services and applications. Some of the Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policies of these applications state that, due to Federal Law, parental permission may be needed to use certain sites.
 
Some of the applications used are web-based such as, but not limited to, Youtube, IXL, Freckle, and Zearn. In addition, our web-based learning may be operated by a third party, such as Zoom. For our students to use these programs and services, certain personal identifying information such as names, usernames, and/or email addresses may be provided to the web site operators. 

Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), these websites and Father John V. Doyle School must provide parental notification for children under the age of 13. For more information on COPPA, please visit the FTC website - www.FTC.gov. The law permits schools like Father John V. Doyle School 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. 

This form, when completed and on file with Father John V. Doyle School, will constitute consent for Father John V. Doyle School to use the web-based learning platforms in the manner noted above. If you do not wish for your child to participate in these learning platforms, please contact the school immediately.
