Aurora Stone Connection delivers many of its offerings — including Rainbows, Rhythm, & Reading Circle Time and family coaching — through secure online platforms such as Google Meet and Google Classroom.  We honor your family’s privacy and maintain the integrity of all digital spaces as extensions of our learning and healing environments.

Virtual Meeting Privacy

  • Access links are shared only with registered families and are password-protected.

  • Families are encouraged to log in a few minutes early to settle and test technology.

  • Please ensure participants are clothed and backgrounds are calm, family-friendly, and free of personal materials.

Session Recordings for Flexibility

To support families who may not attend live, some sessions may be recorded via Google Meet and shared through Google Classroom for enrolled families only.

  • Recordings are used solely for replay and learning support.

  • Recordings are available for up to 14 days, then permanently deleted.

  • Files are stored securely in Aurora Stone Connection’s private Google Workspace.

  • Parents may opt out of having their family video included by disabling their camera or using only first names.

Google Classroom Use

Google Classroom serves as a private digital hub for enrolled families and may include:

  • Session replays

  • Printable resources and activities

  • Optional discussions or reflections

Access is limited to the facilitator and registered families. Families agree not to share class links, files, or recordings outside their household.

Chat, Messages, and Shared Files

  • Chat content during sessions is visible only to participants and the facilitator.

  • Files and handouts are for personal educational use only.

  • Participants may not screenshot, photograph, or record sessions without written permission.

Community Safety

  • Parents/caregivers must be present during sessions with children.

  • Kindness, inclusion, and respect are expected at all times.
