Parents and Guardians,

At Crestwood School District, we use Google Workspace for Education, and we require your permission to provide and manage a Google Workspace for Education account for your child. Google Workspace for Education is a set of education productivity tools from Google including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Classroom, and more, used by tens of millions of students and teachers around the world. At Crestwood School District, students will use their Google Workspace for Education accounts to complete assignments, communicate with their teachers, sign into their Chromebooks, and learn 21st century digital citizenship skills. 

The “Google Workspace for Education Notice to Parents and Guardians” provides answers to common questions about what Google can and can’t do with your child’s personal information, including:

• What personal information does Google collect?

• How does Google use this information?

• Will Google disclose my child’s personal information?

• Does Google use student personal information for users in K-12 schools to target advertising?

• Can my child share information with others using the Google Workspace for Education account?

Please read it carefully, let us know of any questions, and then acknowledge that you’ve read the notice and give your consent. If you don’t provide your consent, we will not create a Google Workspace for Education account for your child. (Not providing consent to use Google services will impact the educational experience.  For example, students who cannot use Google services may need to use other methods in order to complete assignments or collaborate with peers.)
