Handbook Signature Form

I have received a copy of the Springdale Public Schools District Policies Handbook and a copy of the Springdale High School Student Handbook., which     includes policies on attendance and discipline, computer use, internet use, etc.

Student Work or pictures on World Wide Web

Before your child’s photo writing, or artwork can be displayed on the school or district website, we must have parental permission. Because once material is posted, it can be seen by people all over the world, we request that parents sign this permission form. Before any student’s work or picture is placed online the teacher responsible checks the file for parent permission. For security reasons, only first names will be used and work will appear with a copyright notice prohibiting the copying of such work without express permission. In the event requests such permission those requests will be forwarded to the parents. No home   address or telephone number will appear with such work. A copy of the picture or material is available. If you have any questions or wish to request the removal of a student picture or school work, please contact the school office.           

Parental Permission 

I understand my child’s photo, writing, or artwork may be published on the World Wide Web in accordance with the Springdale Public Schools’ web standards at   http://www.sdale.org/technology/Webstandards       My child’s work or photo will be removed immediately upon my request. This form is valid for the entire school year associated with the date stated above.
