As of March 2025, Google Workspace is requiring schools to obtain a separate parental consent for students under the age of 18 using "Additional Services" within Google Workspace for Education services. For our students, these services can include: YouTube, Google Translate, Google Chrome Web Store extensions, Google Photos, Google Maps, Google Earth and Google Bookmarks. This does not include core services such as Gmail, Google Drive and Google Classroom for which parents have already signed prior consent forms.
As these services have been in use in our district for many years, HSD3 is implementing an OPT-OUT option for parents who DO NOT want their students to use these services.
You can get more information or print the Opt-Out form here:
https://www.hsd3.org/page/google-workspace-opt-out
If you have questions, please contact the district office at 406-363-2280 or districtoffice@hsd3.org.
