Student Use Of Google Suite

The MSD of Wayne Township is committed to providing the best educational experience for our students. One tool necessary to this experience is Google Suite. MSD Wayne students use Google Suite, which is made up of web-based tools that facilitate collaboration and communication among students and staff when creating, sharing, and storing documents and assignments online. Each of the Google Suite tools can be accessed from any Internet connection at school, home, or elsewhere. Google Suite’s Privacy Statement describes how Google products and services collect and use information when used with Apps for Education accounts. The Privacy Statement can be found here

Student accounts are created through an automated process during which student information (first name, last name, user name) is transmitted to and stored by Google on behalf of the district. This information is used only to create, manage, and maintain user accounts; Google’s Privacy Policy prevents Google from sharing personal information. Google does not access content stored on Google Apps unless the district gives it explicit permission to do so for troubleshooting purposes. More information about Google Apps for Education and its privacy policies can be found here. Student use of Google Suite is subject to the District’s Policy A200-Responsible Use of Technology. In addition to the core Google applications, the district may make additional applications available provided that any such app supports student achievement while reasonably ensuring a safe and secure environment.

Parents/guardians or eligible students (18 years of age or older) must notify the building principal in writing if they object to their student’s use of Google Suite.
