Privacy COMING WITH A MORE SECURE WAY TO PROTECT THE STUDENTS PRIVACY,

INSTEAD OF USING THEIR REAL NAMES FOR THEIR EMAIL. OTHER SCHOOL

DISTRICTS HAVE ASSIGNED NUMBERS (LIKE A MEDICAL RECORD NUMBER)

TO PROTECT OUR STUDENTS IDENTIFY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS

USING SUCH A LARGE PLATFORM AS GOOGLE CLASSROOM, AS WELL AS

OTHER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS.

Thankfully our infrastructure is not accessible from outside accounts. The

only users who will be able to see student email accounts are other members

of Da Vinci.

regulations?

• I know guidance from the CIF will determine much of what we do but I hope that if CIF allows for sports competition that we follow that plan and allow our students to engage in athletic events. Regardless of CIF competition, can our students still train, even if through zoom, so they can develop their conditioning?
