Teachers at the North Raleigh Christian Academy utilize several software services and web-based applications, operated not by the district but by third parties, in order to provide the most effective software tools and educational opportunities to students. All third-party software services that use individual student accounts are reviewed by NRCA for educational appropriateness, compliance with NRCA policies, and appropriate protection of student privacy. A complete list of these third-party software services, including links to terms of service and privacy policies, is maintained below.
In order for students to use the third-party software services listed below, parents must sign and return the Student Responsible Use Policy form located in the Student & Parent Handbook. If teachers identify additional services that they will use during the school year, they will obtain parental consent for those services during the school year.
Your student may use the following services during the 2015-2016 school year.
