Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

As we encourage our teachers and students to engage in technology that incorporates 21st-century learning skills of communication, collaboration, critical-thinking, and creativity. We have created a listing of websites and applications that we use at Fleetwood Area School District. The purpose of sharing these websites with all of you and their privacy policies is to familiarize you with them as part of the requirements from the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

The Fleetwood Area School District is committed to the safety of our students, especially when it comes to students using online resources. To this end, we will be teaching students about appropriate online behavior including cyberbullying and the disclosure of personal information. We also recognize that there are excellent online resources that benefit the students by providing educational experiences. While allowing access to these interactive online educational resources, we also want to balance the protection of your child’s online privacy and personal information.

Teachers, curriculum departments, and an app vetting committee review the apps and sites requested and review the privacy statements. The district has a list of approved apps and online resources that are essential to our educational programming. The hyper-linked spreadsheet (Approved Websites and Applications for Fleetwood Area School District) is a list of applications and interactive online resources that have been approved for use by our district during the school year. This list of approved websites and applications is updated regularly as new websites and applications are vetted for teacher use. Parents and guardians should check back regularly at this URL to stay up to date on approved apps and websites for use in the district. Each site listed provides a link to a privacy policy for the website or application. Please review the privacy policy on each website or application for how student data is used.
