OASD Parental Consent For Virtual Tutoring Using Zoom

Dear Oshkosh Area School District Parent/Guardian:

In an effort to continuously serve youth during a closure of the Club’s facilities, Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh is providing distance-based, video meeting opportunities for students to receive tutoring from Club staff. Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh will use the third party video platform Zoom (www.zoom.us) which students, parents/guardians and Club staff can access via the Internet and use for purposes of communication and programming.

This form seeks to gain consent for your student to utilize the third party video meeting program Zoom for distance-based, virtual Club tutoring purposes. It’s important for you to know that our commitment to keeping the young people we serve safe is always our number one priority. Boys & Girls Clubs of Oshkosh will actively monitor student’s activity on Zoom with two Club staff members being present for all tutoring sessions. All contact information such as email & phone numbers will be kept private from students. Please be aware that third party applications collect different information about their users and have their own privacy terms and conditions to which members must adhere. Please review Zoom’s terms carefully before registering your student.

Further, all activities online must comply with the Safety Policies of Boys & Girls Clubs of Oshkosh, including the Code of Conduct, Acceptable Use Policy, Internet Safety Policy, Prohibition of 1:1 Contact Policy found in the Club’s Parent Handbook.

In order to participate in virtual Club tutoring, you will need to provide your student with the following:

• Internet access
• A Zoom compatible device (computer, tablet, smart phone)
• Current email address to receive video meeting invitations
• Current phone numbers of the parent/guardian & student that Club staff can use to coordinate meetings
• Quiet space/time at home to participate
