CPS Students
Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC) will gather data to evaluate the Club’s progress toward meeting Club program objectives, analyze areas of potential program improvement, and better communicate impact to parents, donors, and the community. In particular, BGCC will gather member data to determine how Club attendance makes an impact in several areas, including academics, character, and health. A portion of this analysis will be done utilizing student information from Chicago Public Schools (CPS). With my permission, BGCC would like to collect the following information from my child’s CPS school records through the current school year. Grade Level, Grades, Standardized Achievement Test Scores, Attendance Information, and Number of Days Suspended. This data will be collected on a periodic basis using my child’s CPS student ID number, analyzed against BGCC attendance data, and then reported for the Club as a whole. These reports may be used internally for program improvements or communicated externally to the community, youth, parents, and existing or potential donors and funders. Member information will remain strictly confidential and will only be used by BGCC, its staff, and long-standing technology partner nFocus Software. Strict guidelines are in place to ensure confidentiality and each party has received appropriate training. At no point will individual student data be publicly released.

These platforms include Facebook, YouTube, Zoom, Instagram, and Tik Tok. I give my consent for my child to utilize these platforms for distance-based, virtual Club program purposes. Please be aware that each application collects different information about its users and has its own privacy terms and conditions to which members must adhere. Please review these carefully before registering your member. Our commitment to keeping the young people we serve safe is always our number one priority. Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago will actively monitor online member activity while engaged with us and will make every effort to protect member information by, among other things, maintaining control of, and access to, the data collected; prohibiting re-disclosure of member information; limiting the purposes for which the online platforms may use member information; ensuring there is no advertising and that no member information is collected for commercial purposes. Further, all activities online must comply with Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago’s safety policies, including the Social Media Policy, One-on-One Contact Policy, and Internet Safety Policy.
