Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are requesting that you access the online consent system and hopefully agree to the terms within.  The District’s online system has several electronic consent forms for you to review:A generic Online Platform consent has been made available at http://consent.sd62.bc.ca    You will find copies of the text of the consent information on the external resources, applications and platforms the District has approved.

• General Consent for Low Risk Field Trips and Activities (annual) – Rather than sending home a paper consent for each activity, this would cover all Low Risk school activities.   High Risk activities require a parent consent each activity.
• Google Apps for Education (GAFE) – We are hoping that each of our students have a Google account as this is becoming more and more popular for teachers to use in their classrooms and communicate with home and students.
• Internet Access (annual) – Agree to the term of safe use of the internet at school.
• Media Consent (annual)– Allows us to use student names and pictures in our media publications.
• School Cash online – You can pay and access all your school fees online.  No need to come into school to pay or write cheques anymore.
• My Blueprint – To increase the interaction between parents, students and teachers, we are bringing in a new program for teachers called MyBlueprint.  The MyBlueprint platform is used for career education, digital portfolios and self-assessment core competencies from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

When online, you will have a more thorough explanation of what you are consenting to if you agree to consent.

We strongly urge you to review this system and hopefully consent to what makes sense for you and your family.

Thanks for your consideration.
