Virtual Mentoring
In an effort to continuously serve all CCPS students, regardless of whether MEGA Mentors has an in-person program at a specific CCPS location, MEGA Mentors provides virtual mentoring and reading programs, which may include video and web-based programs.
This consent form covers all forms of virtual mentoring programs. I understand that I am registering my child for a virtual course and that my child’s image may be transmitted during video portions of the virtual mentoring and reading programs.
Additionally, I understand that the information provided may include but is not limited to: student’s age, address, telephone number, age, school name, student grade in school, student’s email address, student progress, and course grades. In order for your child/student to participate in the virtual mentoring or reading program, you agree to provide the following: a computer, phone, or tablet and internet access that will be used to access the virtual mentoring/reading programs.
MEGA Mentors will use software, tools, and applications provided by third parties that members, parents/guardians and/or CCPS staff will access via the internet and use for purposes of communication and programming. These platforms include Google Meet and Zoom.
MEGA Mentors is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our Mentees and that commitment is extended to our virtual mentoring and reading programs. Therefore, MEGA Mentors will make every effort to protect Mentee information, by monitoring and maintaining control of, and access to the data collected; prohibiting re-disclosure of Mentee information; limiting the purposes for which the online platforms may use Mentee information; ensuring there is no advertisement and that no Mentee’s information is collected for commercial purposes. Furthermore, all virtual mentoring activities (e.g., Google Meets and ZOOM sessions [including breakout rooms]) will be conducted by a minimum of two adult Mentors.
Further, MEGA Mentors virtual mentoring and reading programs will comply with CCPS policies and procedures. If there are any issues, challenges or concerns that arise during the virtual mentoring or reading programs, please contact the MEGA Mentor Liaison for prompt resolution.
