COPPA Compliance Information

Dear Parents,

Claude Independent School District utilizes several computer software applications and web-based services, operated not by this school, but by third parties.  In order for our students to use these programs and services, certain personally indentifying information, generally consisting of the student’s name and e-mail address, must be provided to the web site operator.  Under a federal law entitled Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA), these websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information.  For more information on COPPA, please click here to visit the FTC website info. 

Each website operator is bound by COPPA to maintain the confidentiality of the information collected.  They are also required to post a privacy policy describing their practices.  A full list of the operators in use by the district may be found in the "COPPA Consent Listing" section below.

COPPA permits a school district to consent to the collection of this information on behalf of all of its students, thereby eliminating the need for individual parental consent given directly to each individual website operator.

The COPPA Compliance permission question is found on the Technology Form during registration. This form, when completed during registration and on file with the district, will constitute consent for your child to make use of the services listed.  It will also constitute consent for our schools to provide personally identifying information for your child consisting of first name, last name, Student ID #, an email address and a username to the operators listed.

Claude ISD uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text, and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:

• Receive messages from the school via email, text, or app notification 
• Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest at 6pm 
• Communicate in your preferred language
• Comment on school postings to engage with your school community
• Direct message teachers, staff and other parents
• Participate in group messages
