Privacy Policy
Privacy Statement
High/Scope Educational Research Foundation and Red-e Set Grow recognize the importance of protecting child information and we are committed to protecting your on-line experience while using the Red-e Learner software.
High/Scope Educational Research Foundation (High/Scope) is a not-for-profit corporation in Ypsilanti, Michigan. OnlineCOR is a service offered by High/Scope and Red-e Set Grow, LLC a North Carolina limited liability company "Red-e Set Grow." Both High/Scope and Red-e Set Grow are dedicated to meeting the needs of its members with the highest regard to safety and privacy. By using the OnlineCOR service:
- you are agreeing that the terms of our Privacy Policy are acceptable to you
- you do not expect High/Scope or Red-e Set Grow to take any measures to safeguard confidential data or information other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy
- you will not do anything to violate the terms of this Privacy Policy yourself
Collection and Protection of Information
We collect a limited amount of personal information from teachers, administrators and parents about themselves and their students in order to provide you with customized, personalized information about a child's growth and development, we will ask you--not the child--for some specific information. During our registration process we will ask you to set up a username and password to establish secure access to your personal information.
As a registered member, you may, among other things, create and edit a Portfolio for a student, invite guests (i.e., parents) to share this Portfolio, and post questions in any of our Forums. In order to provide you with customized, personalized information, you are asked for some specific information about yourself and the student. To become a registered member, you will need to supply your name and email address. You will also need to choose a username and password. In some cases, an administrator may register a teacher and in doing so, may or may not supply the teacher's email address (it's optional), as well as select the username and password on behalf of the teacher. The username you select when you register may not be changed without contacting the Red-e Set Grow customer support department. Registered members may update their password and email address at any time. Registered members may also elect to permanently terminate their registration by calling 734-485-2000, ext. 255 or e-mail to OnlineCOR@highscope.org. Upon actual receipt of such notice, all Portfolios, assessments, recommended Activities and Tips, Journal entries, and other personal information associated with you and your student will promptly be removed from the system. However, messages posted to in the Forum areas (which include your username) are property of High/Scope, and will not be removed if or when you elect to terminate your registration. If you elect to permanently terminate your registration, it is important that you contact High/Scope - if your registration terminates as a result of expiration and you never notify High/Scope of your desire to permanently terminate your registration, this site will continue to maintain your information so that you won't have to re-enter all such information upon your return to this site or upon your re-registration.
Only registered members can create a student's Portfolio. Once you do so, you can enter anecdotes for a student, score that anecdote on the High/Scope Child Observation Record (COR), read and write in the student’s journal, access recommended activities, and see an associated Growth Profile of the student's development. You may also invite guests to share this Portfolio; however, if you are a teacher, school or school district, you may only invite parents or legal guardians of a student as invited guests to share in a student's Portfolio (unless you get expressed written consent of the parents/legal guardians to do otherwise). To create a Portfolio for a student, you need to supply the student's name, birth date, and gender (this information is used to personalize the content of the site). In addition, if you are registering as a teacher or a school, you also have the OPTION of supplying the following information: the student’s primary language, ethnicity and class level, as well as notating whether the student participates in an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Such optional information would be used solely to create aggregated non-personalized outcome group progress reports that may be desired by a school administrator or a school district. You may at any time remove from the system any Portfolio that you create. If you do so, all anecdotes, scores, recommendations, journal entries, and other personal information associated with such Portfolios will simultaneously be removed.
As an invited guest, you can view, but not create, delete or add changes to, a student's Portfolio. To become an invited guest, you need an invitation from a registered member who has already created a Portfolio. You will also need to register yourself in order to protect the security of the information you will have access to. You will need to supply your name and email address. You will also need to choose a username and password. The username you select when you register may not be changed without contacting Red-e Set Grow customer support. Invited guests may update their password and email address at any time.
