Release of Student Information & Parent Notification/Permission

During the school year, students are often involved in activities that go beyond the confines of the classroom and the usual day-to-day instructional process. In most cases, these are routine events associated with learning and the culture of the schools. Such activities may include field trips, classroom events/parties which relate to cultural observances, plays or programs, individual and group pictures in the school yearbook, school academic and activity photographs in news articles in newspapers, and recognition in general interest and news television reports. Please realize that this list may not include all activities that could arise during the year. Understand also that the school will require specific permission for field trips or certain activities or programs. School officials recognize their responsibility to conduct a thorough program and to ensure that activities are planned using good taste and respect for the status and integrity of children.
