Dear Parent/Guardian:
In an effort to continuously serve members during the Club closure, Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County is providing distance-based Club experiences through which Club staff will facilitate program activities through an online platform. Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County will use applications provided by a third party that members, parents/guardians and/or staff will access via the Internet and use for purposes of communication and programming. The primary platforms are called Zoom and Stride Academy.
This letter seeks consent for your child to utilize Zoom for distance-based Club program purposes. Zoom provides an opportunity to deliver video and chat-based educational experiences to members via any device. Please be aware that Zoom collects information about its users and has its own privacy terms and conditions to which members must adhere. Please review Zoom’s privacy terms and conditions carefully before registering your member: http://zoom.us/terms and http://zoom.us/privacy.

Stride Academy is an adaptive learning program that personalizes learning for every student, based on their needs.

While limited, Club may also utilize social media to promote events and communicate one way with your youth. Parents/Guardians will determine the appropriate social media for their youth as social media (e.g. Facebook) regularly collect information from its users.
Our commitment to keeping the young people we serve safe is always our number one priority. Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County will actively monitor member activity on Zoom and will make every effort to protect member information by, among other things, maintaining control of, and access to, the data collected; prohibiting re-disclosure of member information; limiting the purposes for which the online platforms may use member information; ensuring there is no advertising and that no member information is collected for commercial purposes.
