Step-by-Step:

  1. Send home a parent letter before creating accounts

  2. Collect signed consent forms (digital or physical)

  3. Track consent using a spreadsheet or log

  4. Only create student accounts after consent is received

If you don’t collect consent, use alias names and generic usernames or placeholder emails with no PII.

Family Letters (Editable Templates):

Each letter includes:

  • Program overview

  • Benefits to students

  • Privacy information

  • Parent signature lines
