Dear Parents and Guardians,

This letter is to inform you that students in grades K-6 will be using Google Suite for Education, an integrated
communication and collaboration solution, on Chromebooks or iPads in their classrooms this year. In order to log into GSuite
products students will be provided with a Google username and password. Students will have access to Google Drive and
Google Sites. Students in Grades 3-6 may be assigned Gmail, with restricted messaging to or from teachers and approved
HPS staff only. In addition to the core Google Suite for Edu products, we will also be using a selection of Chrome extensions,
Google Earth and Google My Maps. Your child’s usernames and passwords will be shared with you, so that you may
monitor this account at home if you wish. In order to allow monitoring of student accounts it is imperative that students do
not change their passwords.

It is important for students to begin to understand how to utilize digital tools in their schoolwork by having an account that
is only to be used for school. We encourage students to effectively and ethically use these tools for their schoolwork.
Google’s terms of service (TOS) includes a clause that users must be at least 13 years old or have parental permission. This
also applies to many of the other services we will be using. Google Apps TOS
(http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/education_terms.html)

We will also be using various Web tools and websites with all students. Some of these will be shared accounts. If your
child’s teacher uses online sites in his/her lessons and your child is given a username and password, it will also be sent
home. We will begin posting some of this digital student work online. We will follow the same guidelines used for
publishing photographs, etc. Students will be identified by first name and last initial (if needed). Teachers will use avatars
or alternate ways of displaying work, if a student is not allowed to be photographed or videoed.

No material, including documents, slide decks or video, etc. distributed via school accounts may be repurposed in any part
or published to the web in order to both respect privacy and copyright laws.

If you have questions about this policy, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Dowd
Principal

_______I understand that my student will be using Google Suite for Education Suite at school. In addition to the
core products, Google Earth, Google My Maps and a selection of Chrome extensions will be used. My student
will also use other educational websites at school. A copy of all account information will be sent home and the
TOS and privacy statements will be available online. Please sign and return one form per student.
