2020 - 2021 School Year
Where are the legal documents that apply to the Summit Learning program for the 2020-2021 school year?
Revised terms will be made available for the 2020-21 school year to clarify our terms and conditions, as well as our data security information. We’ve also made these resources easier to access for school leaders, teachers, and parents.
Some of the changes (compared to the terms for the 2019-2020 school year) are described below. None of these changes impact how the Summit Learning platform collects or uses student personal data.
