Because the Groups tool involves communication among staff, students, and parents, there are specific user agreements and permissions related to this tool, especially for students.
User Agreement
Campus Parent users must accept the User Agreement and associated Terms and Conditions prior to using the Groups tool for the first time. Parents/guardians also accept the User Agreement on behalf of their student(s). Students cannot accept the User Agreement themselves, it must be accepted on their behalf by a parent/guardian.
Users can review the Groups User Agreement and their acceptance at any time by clicking the user menu in the top right corner. Parents can revoke their acceptance for themselves and their students. When acceptance is revoked, that user loses access to the Groups Tool.
Joining a Group - Under Age 18
For all students under the age of 18, a parent/guardian must approve their membership before the student can join the group. The approval process is as follows:
- A student is added to a group or requests to join one. If they attempted to view the group, they see a message indicating that they need approval from a parent/guardian.
- The student's parent/guardian receives a notification that their approval is requested for the student. The parent/guardian provides or declines approval.
- If the student is approved to join the group, they can view the group and associated conversations.
