Notice: Use of PushPad

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am writing to inform you about a supplemental learning tool we will be using in [your classroom/our school] this year. PushPad helps learners engage with focused lesson pads that reinforce and extend classroom instruction.

What is PushPad?

PushPad is a supplemental learning tool that allows educators to create and assign focused lesson pads. Learners access lesson pads through secure PIN-based login, complete activities, and receive feedback on their progress. PushPad uses progress tracking and engagement elements to support learning.

• Learner Name: To identify learners and personalize their learning experience
• Learning Progress: Lesson completion, quiz scores, and activity participation
• Login Information: A secure 6-digit PIN (no email or password required)
• Technical Data: Basic usage data to ensure the platform functions properly

What is NOT collected: PushPad does NOT collect sensitive personal information such as home address, phone number, Social Security number, or precise geolocation.
