OBTAINING PARENTAL CONSENT
If a student is under 13 years old, you MUST obtain
parental consent to create a Weebly account for them.
If you are posting pictures of students or their work,
you must also obtain parental/guardian permission to
do so.
Please consult with your district’s technology director
for the necessary forms. Below are sample forms
other districts have used:
