I agree that this is a privacy violation. If you are using Follett then the parent can sit down with the student and have the student log in to Follett and see what their kid has checked out and discuss it with them.

We use "log in with Google" so that makes this task very easy. I'd opt for that option over any kind of regular notification.

I realize this is a slippery slope, but my principal is wondering if parents can be automatically notified when a student checks out a book- in an effort for transparency- so they know what their student is reading.
Does anyone have this or something similar set up/ have experience with this?
My suggestion was to encourage parents to have a conversation with their students and they can ask to see their checkout history when the student is logged in.
