COPPA

Please printout and sign the consent form and have your child return it to the homeroom teacher.

Website/Software Accounts Parent/Guardian Consent Form Dear Parent/Guardian:

While not a legal requirement in China, schools in the United States must obtain parental consent in order to comply with COPPA, a federal law regulating creation of online accounts for children under 13 years of age. In order for AIAN to be able to provide your child with the most effective web-based tools and applications for learning, we ask that you fill out this consent form.

In the course of teaching and learning at AIAN, we may decide to use various computer software applications and web-based services operated by third parties, not by AIAN. In many cases, these services require an account to be established in the name of your child. In order for our students to use these programs and services, certain personal identifying information, generally the student’s name and email address, must be provided to the web site or software operator.

Under US federal law, these websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. The law permits schools to consent to the collection of personal information on behalf of all of its students, thereby eliminating the need for individual parental consent given directly to the web site or software operator. This form will constitute consent for AIAN to provide personal identifying information for your child consisting of first name, last name, email address and username to the various software and web-operators.

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact the Head of School or the Technology Coordinator.

Sincerely,

Cavon Ahangarzadeh Head of School AIAN
