Help & safety
- Parents own the account. Children never create accounts, enter emails, or share personal details. A learner is a first name and a grade.
- Ask Bacc is supervised. Every message is stored on your family account. Anything that trips a guardrail is flagged for you to review.
- Bacc stays on school. Reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and beginning Spanish, from pre-K through 8th grade. Off-topic, adult, violent, or personal-information requests get a short redirect and are logged.
- No secrets, no roleplay, no meeting up. Bacc is always a computer helper, never pretends to be a person, and always points children to a trusted adult.
- Hints before answers. Bacc coaches. It will not write your child's essay or complete a graded assignment.
- No ads, no tracking pixels, no selling data.
- Pages are kept so you can reuse them. A photo or PDF you upload is stored privately, keyed by its content, so you can ask for a quiz, flashcards, or study notes from the same pages later without uploading again. Delete the job and the pages go with it once nothing else refers to them.
- Identical documents are recognized. If another family uploads the exact same review sheet, Bacc returns the result it already made. It is instant, costs nothing, and does not count against your daily limit. Nobody learns who else uploaded it.
- Sharing is your choice, per document. "Share with a study pod" is off by default. Turn it on only for documents the school published (handouts, review sheets, study guides). A child's own notes stay in your family unless you choose otherwise. Pod families see the title, date, and Bacc's result, and can make their own version. You can stop sharing any time.
- Never child-to-child. Sharing moves between parent accounts in the same pod, the way you would forward a handout by text.
- You join, never the child. A teacher gives families a six-character code. You enter it on your own account for your child. Children never get accounts, codes, or messages.
- The teacher sees a roster: first name, grade, and buddy. That is less than a class list.
- Done or not done for the activities the teacher assigned, and how many activities your child did this week.
- Mastery only if you say so. A per-child switch on the Classrooms page shares a summary (standards mastered, practicing, needing a refresher) for that classroom's subject. It is off by default and you can turn it off any time.
- Never: Ask Bacc conversations, learning-support information, other subjects, scores on individual activities, or anything about another family.
- Leaving removes your child from the roster immediately and stops all sharing. Deleting a classroom removes the class content; your family data stays yours.

What Baccare reads, only for the parent's own observed student: courses, planner items (assignments, quizzes, discussions, calendar events) with due dates and turned-in status, and assignment scores. Parents can disconnect any time, and the school can turn the key off any time. Baccare is an independent resource that integrates with Canvas; it is not affiliated with Instructure.
Is this TEA-approved? Baccare aligns activities to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) strands published by the Texas Education Agency. Pre-K activities follow the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines, also published by TEA, because the TEKS start at kindergarten. Baccare is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by TEA. Activities cover the TEKS that STAAR assesses (texasassessment.gov); Baccare does not predict or score STAAR.
