MetaPet Schools Parent/Carer Note
What is this?
MetaPet Schools is a short teacher-led classroom activity for Years 3-6. Students use a digital companion to notice patterns, practise simple online safety habits, and talk about systems and regulation in age-appropriate language.
What it does not require
No student account
No student email
No public profile
No social sharing
What is stored during normal classroom use
A teacher-chosen alias
Lesson progress on the classroom device
A local class summary for pilot evidence
How participation works
The default pilot pack assumes parent/carer opt-in before direct student use.
If your school uses a different approved local process, it should explain that clearly before classroom use.
Students who are not the primary device user can still take part through observation, discussion, or teacher-provided alternatives.
How long is it kept?
The current pilot setup uses short local retention and teacher-controlled deletion. Teachers can clear local classroom data at any time.
Who should I contact?
Please contact the school if you have questions about classroom use, privacy, or whether your child participates in the pilot.
