Personal Information
Due to the nature of our programs, it is necessary for us to request certain
information from both teachers and parents. The information that is requested
is strictly used for facilitating the program. The data will always remain
protected, and we do not share this information with any other organizations
for commercial purposes. In the event that you want to "opt out"
of the program at any time and want your personal information removed, please
contact us by using the contact information below.
Teachers - We consider the following information to be personally
identifiable information: your first and last name, e-mail address, and school
information (school name, classroom number, address, phone number, and principal).
This information will be used to enroll your class, confirm your status as
a viable teacher at the location provided, notify you of program changes and
additions, and for contact use in the event there are technical problems.
Parents and Children - We consider the following information to be
personally identifiable information: your first and last name, child's first
name, teacher's first and last name, and child's grade. This information will
be used to enroll your child under their teacher's classroom identification
number. The use of your child's first name is solely for the purpose of personalization
of each letter and for teacher recognition of completion of each letter found
on their Paws for Reading Classroom Chart.
The Letter P.A.L.S. program, featuring the Pet Shop Pen Pals, is intended
for simultaneous parent and child participation. Registration by a child only
is prohibited. Teachers should confirm individual parent participation by
cross-referencing the signed and returned Parents Paws for Reading slips for
each participating parent and student. Parent Paws for Reading parent confirmation
slips are conveniently located on the bottom of the Parent Notification Letter.
The Parent Notification Letter can be found in both the Teachers Sign Up section
and the Teachers section on the red navigation bar.
