Data Privacy

What about Data Privacy?

Class Links can only work effectively if they know who the children and the adults in their class community, are. 

Since Class Links are not school staff, the school will not share parent and guardian contact details without specific consent. Parents and guardians are asked to complete a form to grant or withhold permission to have their names and mobile numbers shared with their Class Links. This permission is recorded when a family joins The Grove, and is confirmed once a year, via a Google Form.

What if I withhold permission? The school will not make your contact details available to the Class Link of your child's class. You will receive communications directly from your class teacher and the school office, but not from the Class Links. Since important information is distributed via the Links, we recommend that at least one adult per learner, is known to the Class Link.
