Abstract	Background: Digital technology is becoming a central component of schooling. We measured parents perceptions of their children's digital privacy on school-issued digital devices. Methods: We surveyed 571 parents of K-12th grade children, recruited nationally, regarding their child's use of school-issued devices. Parents reported their awareness of, and ratings of importance for, seven types of privacy policies for school-issued devices. Results: About half (45.9%) of children were in K-5th grade and 84.9% attended public school. Most (80.7%) children used a school-issued device and 66.6% took one home during the coronavirus pandemic. Parents most often rated policies for preventing the collection of geolocation (76%) and sharing of data with third parties (75%) as "very important." However, 35.4% of parents did not know with certainty if their school had any digital policies. Many (55.7%) parents "strongly agreed" their child's school protected student digital privacy and most (68.1%) felt schools were the most responsible party to do so, yet those ratings differed by parent awareness of privacy policies (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Parents consider digital privacy policies highly important and perceive schools to be responsible for such protections, highlighting the need to support schools in those efforts.
