Why am I getting an email from Edmentum regarding tracking DC's progress?

[Anonymous]

"You've been invited by your students's school to join Edmentum Sensei for Families! By registering, you will gain access to learning progress and results for the following student(s): "

What is this? I haven't heard anything about yet another tool to track progress.

Me too. My son is in a magnet program. We haven’t registered. Is it effectively SPAM?

Reach out to your school principal to see if the program is legit. If your school was testing a new system, there should have been an email. Perhaps you missed the email. Otherwise, someone is trying to get your private information.

Or the school system/school just decided it was OK to share student data with a third party. I sure hope they buttoned up any privacy concern with compact privacy agreements that require opt-in before any data sharing, limit third party use only to the particular service (without any BS about "...and with our partners to...[wahatever might fall under an over-broad reasonable use clause]", and allow a family to expunge data fully from the third party's (and any following parties') systems.

Guessing not. Of course, why should we hold MCPS to a privacy standard to which we won't hold the rest of society? SMH.

MCPS routinely shares data with 3rd parties. Synergy, testing, google apps, etc.

Not sure which school you're talking about but hopefully it's not from 4th Grade Magnet RLA teachers?

And if it is, find an attorney stat! There is no reason why they shouldn't be using Google for all assignments like the rest of MCPS.

I'm still getting this email. My HSer is not registered for a summer class. Why am I getting these emails?

Does anyone actually find this website useful?

+1. Curriculum 2.0 was a "public-private partnership" literally sharing all of our children's data with no way for parents to opt out.

It's useful if your child is taking a summer class and you want to track their progress.

but my kid isn't taking a summer class. So, is it really only useful for summer classes?

It is useful for any class taken through Edmentum, which includes summer classes and credit recovery.

Edmentum is for online classes. If your kid isn't taking any online classes, then maybe you're getting this in error?

What magnet program? Both my kids are in different magnets (one middle, one high) and I’ve not received that for either of them.
