Parents or guardians may choose to limit the use of their child ’ s photo .

Section A : Photos
• No Restriction : A child ’ s photo will be taken and / or a child may be videotaped or audiotaped for all purposes as described above .

The parent ’ s or guardians ’ choices will be recorded in the child ’ s records . Parents or guardians may update their photo choice at any time by updating the ‘ Information Release ’ component in the Student Online Registration .
Although the school will take reasonable steps to prevent students with full or partial restrictions from being photographed , the school cannot guarantee that a student will not be photographed / videotaped as part of a large group , such as participating in a school assembly , walking through a school hallway , and other situations where there are large numbers of students .
