-We have completed movie trailers that I would love to publish online. I have sent home a media consent form that allows me to do so. Please sign.

Parental/Guardian Consent Form 

I am  sending you this parental consent form to both inform you and to request permission for your child's photo/image and personally identifiable information to be published on the class blog, the district and/or school's web site.

As you are aware, there are potential dangers associated with the posting of personally  identifiable information on a web site since global access to the Internet does not allow us to control who may access such information.  These dangers have always existed; however,  as school I do want to celebrate your child and his/her work.  The law requires that we ask  for your permission to use information about your child. 

Pursuant to law, I will not release any personally identifiable information without prior written consent from you as parent or guardian. Personally identifiable information includes student names, photo or image, residential addresses, e-mail address, phone numbers and locations and times of class trips.

If you, as the parent or guardian, wish to rescind this agreement, you may do so at any time in writing by sending a letter to me  and such rescission will take effect upon receipt by the school.

Check one of the following choices: 

__ I/We GRANT permission for a photo/image that includes this student without any other

personal identifiers to be published on the school and/or district.s public Internet site.

__ I/We GRANT permission for this student.s photo/image and name to be published on the

school and/or district.s public Internet site.

__I/We GRANT permission for this student.s photo/image and all other personal identifiers

listed above to be published on the school and/or district.s public Internet site.

__I/We DO NOT GRANT permission for photo/image that includes this student to be

published on the school and or district.s public Internet site.

CELL PHONE POLICY

Dear Parents,

  With a doubt, cellular phones and other electronic devices can be enormously useful tools to further your child’s education. This is especially true when appropriately used and supervised. However when abused, cellphones and other electronic devices may form an unnecessary distraction and impediment to your child's learning as well as a significant threat to the safety and privacy of others. As such, at school these devices may only be used at a teacher's discretion. 

As a result of the abuses in the recent past, we have implemented a ban on cell phones, mp3 players and iPods during school hours. They may not be used nor may they be visible at anytime.

This policy is designed to protect the educational program of all students but not to limit the home/school communications.  In most cases, a student may be given permission to use an administrative office telephone to contact a parent/guardian, and in the case of an emergency, a student may be called out of class to receive a telephone call from parents/guardians. 

No image of any student may be reproduced by means of pictures, video, or any other electronic means unless the teacher has gained permission from the parent and respective student.

Students bringing cellular telephones or electronic devices to school do so at their own risk.  We will not assume any liability for any lost, stolen or damaged cellular telephone and/or any other electronic devices either in school or in their possession.

In summary:

• Cell phones/electronic devices are to be deactivated during school instructional hours.

• Emergency calls to parents should be made through the school office.

• Cell phones/electronic devices will be confiscated upon use.

• Students must have the permission of the teacher to use the approved device at a specific time.

Thanks,

M. Babb
