• Review their privacy policies to confirm they do not collect or share unnecessary data.

3. Limit Personal Data Collection

• Avoid requiring students to enter full names, addresses, or personal emails.

• Use school-provided accounts instead of personal ones.

4. Obtain Parental Consent When Needed

• If an online tool collects personal data beyond the school’s authority, get written parental consent.

• Use school district-approved platforms to simplify compliance.

5. Educate Students on Privacy

• Teach students not to share personal information online.

• Explain safe internet practices and privacy settings.

6. Monitor and Review Online Activities
