Academic Year 2004 - 2005

Dear Parent or Guardian:

The Portland Public Schools photographs, videotapes and records in other ways some student and classroom activities for distribution through school newsletters, the Portland Partnership newsmagazine, other school system publications, and TV3 (the educational access station managed by the district). On occasion local media outlets such as local newspapers, radio stations and commercial television stations may also visit the school. In some cases, media that originally appears in a school system publication, on TV3 or in local media also may be streamed on the web.

 

You have the right to deny permission for your childs name, picture or voice to be used in school system media. You may do so by completing the form below and returning it to the secretary at your childs school. You also may use this form to deny permission for your childs name, picture or voice to be used by local media outlets that visit the school. If the form is not returned to the school, then it will be assumed that you grant permission for your child to appear in the media cited above.

 

Please note that releases are not required for events open to the public such as evening concerts, performances and graduation ceremonies. Therefore, your child may appear in media coverage of those events even if you fill out the form below. (Please print).
