Guidelines for Media Behavior on School Property:

To ensure the safety and privacy of our students, staff, and school environment, we kindly request that all members of the media adhere to the following guidelines when visiting our school campuses:
 
  1. Check-In Process: Upon arrival at any of our school campuses, please check in at the front desk immediately. This will help us ensure that you have proper authorization, and helps us to ensure the safety of all of our students and staff.

  2. Prior Permission: Please note that media personnel are not permitted on school property without prior permission. We appreciate your cooperation in obtaining the necessary authorization before visiting our campuses for any media-related activities.

  3. Respecting Privacy: As outlined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), some students may not be photographed, filmed, or interviewed without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We request that you respect these privacy considerations and obtain proper permissions when necessary.
