Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
We have a large percentage of our students who excel academically and in co-curricular activities throughout the school year. Hence, they are recognized publicly in the print media and on our web site. In addition, the No Child Left Behind Law states that school districts are to allow the same access to students by military recruiters as they do college and job recruiters. This access includes releasing secondary school students’ names, addresses, and telephone numbers to military recruiters, who can use the information for armed forces recruiting and for informing these students of scholarship opportunities. However, secondary school students or their parents can request that the information NOT BE RELEASED.
ACTIVITIES/EVENTS:
1. School academic/activity photographs in news articles for newspapers. Names may be used in conjunction with such pictures.
Inclusion in general interest news media reports/interviews (i.e. television, radio, newspapers), including listings of student accomplishments (e.g. honor rolls, honor society). Students may be identified in such reports/interviews/listings.
Individual/group photographs that include the student and/or oral or written comments by the student that appear on the district website.
Visitation by U.S. military recruiters and/or providing them with access to directory information on a student.
Accordingly, a parent or guardian may elect to withhold permission to publicize their son/daughter’s name, picture, and basic information such as address and phone number.
If you want to withhold any of the aforementioned information listed under activities/events, please return this form to the main office with your information and signature:
Sincerely,
John C. Smith, Principal
I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR MY CHILD TO BE INVOLVED IN THE FOLLOWING EVENTS/ACTIVITIES FROM THE LIST ABOVE.
