Effective Date: August 4, 2026
Judah Empowerment Academy provides in-person K–8 tutoring and educational enrichment services. We are funded independently through parental tuition, private grants, and community donations. We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of all our users, especially the children who attend our program.
We do not permit children under 13 to register for services or create accounts independently. Enrollment, paperwork, and digital profile setup must be performed by a parent or legal guardian. Students 13 and older may use learning applications during sessions, while enrollment remains managed by a parent or guardian.
We obtain verifiable parental consent before allowing a child under 13 to use digital learning applications under our supervision or before taking promotional media. Parents complete consent through payment verification, a signed physical consent form, or in-person identification.
We collect administrative and enrollment information needed to operate safely, including parent contact information, tuition processing details, student enrollment history, attendance records, academic diagnostics, emergency contacts, approved pick-up lists, and—only with permission—photos or videos from tutoring sessions.
Our tutors may use i-Ready, Heggerty, Renaissance, and Khan Academy. We create student profiles using minimal identifying information whenever possible to help protect student anonymity online.
Paper enrollment files and release forms are secured in locked filing cabinets. Program devices are password-protected, encrypted, and connected to a secure private Wi-Fi network. Students may not access personal email, social media, or unauthorized websites on program devices.
Verified parents may review the personal information, media files, and learning application profiles maintained for their child; refuse further data tracking; revoke media consent; and request deletion of applicable student data and accounts.
To ensure the safety and security of all children attending our in-person tutoring facility, parents and guardians must strictly adhere to the following arrival and departure procedures.
Students in grades K–6th must be physically escorted into the building by a parent, guardian, or authorized adult. The escorting adult must sign the student in on the daily attendance sheet. Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before a scheduled session.
Students are released only to individuals listed on enrollment paperwork. Staff may request a government-issued photo ID. The authorized adult must physically sign the student out. A late fee of $10 per ten minutes may be assessed when a student is not picked up within 10 minutes of a session ending.
Any temporary or permanent changes to an authorized pick-up list must be submitted in writing or by email by the primary parent or guardian at least two hours before the daily session.
