Privacy Policy
This policy describes how information is handled when you use this website.
Information we collect. We collect the information you choose to provide through the forms on this site — such as inquiry, tour-request, and admissions forms. This typically includes a parent or guardian's name, email address, and phone number, and may include information you enter about your child (for example, a first name or age) and any message you send us.
How we use it. We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, schedule visits, communicate with you about admissions and programs, and carry out the enrollment process. We use a customer relationship management and communications platform to receive form submissions and manage our correspondence with you.
Retention and security. We retain inquiry and admissions information for as long as needed to serve your family and to meet the school's operational and record-keeping needs. We take reasonable measures to protect the information in our care.
Your choices. To ask what information we hold about your family, to correct it, or to request its deletion, contact the school using the details above. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in those emails, and opt out of text messages by replying STOP.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for use by parents, guardians, and other adults. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly invite children to submit information through it. Any information about a child that reaches us through this site is provided by a parent or guardian in the course of an inquiry, tour request, or application, and is used only to serve that family's interest in the school.
SMS Terms
By providing your phone number and consenting to SMS communication, you agree to receive text messages from Countryside Day School related to your inquiry, tour, or enrollment. Opt out at any time by replying STOP. Reply HELP for assistance. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message and data rates may apply.
Third-Party Services and Links

We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party services or linked sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
