Throughout the school year, the following routine school activities occur and may be the subject of photographing, audio-taping, video-taping and filming of students involved in the following routine in-school activities.

• School Yearbook
• School/Board Curriculum
• School Plays
• Presentations or Teaching Aids
• Field Days/Athletic Functions
• School & Class Photographs
• Science Fairs
• Public Speaking Contests
• Annual Report of the Director
• Education Week Events
• School/Board Memorabilia

In addition, the public media organizations, upon notification, may be present to cover these events by photographing, audio taping, videotaping and filming students involved in the above mentioned routine in-school activities.

A signed release is required for the photographing, audio-taping, videotaping and filming of a specific program or activities of the School/Board which are not considered part of the normal routine activities and which are to be shared outside of the jurisdiction of the School/Board.
These procedures are necessary to ensure the privacy of students in the school and for students within the jurisdiction of the Lambton Kent District School Board. This is also in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

It is therefore requested that parents/guardians inform the School Principal in writing if they do not wish their child to be photographed, audio-taped, video-taped or filmed during the school year. Children who are not to be photographed should be instructed to cover their faces or remove themselves from the area. If the situation warrants, the child may be removed from the activity.

Release forms will be sent home for students participating in out-of-school/special board-sponsored activities or special projects.
