Community volunteers are essential to our ability to provide the best programs, services, and opportunities for students. In addition, parents/guardians, grandparents, or others may be invited into our schools as visitors to attend various school events during the school day. When serving in the capacity of a volunteer or when visiting our buildings for special events, we ask for your awareness of our “Photography Notice” for students.

Unless a parent/guardian has submitted a letter stating otherwise, they have provided permission for only the school district to use pictures of their child. These parents/guardians have not provided volunteers or visitors permission to post pictures of their child on websites or social media. Group or classroom photos should not be posted publicly on volunteer or visitor websites, including social media, since parent/guardian permission has not been given to do so.
