Social Media

Directory Disclosure

Each school year, families must communicate their preference on sharing their child's name and/or photo in any district- or school-sponsored media. This is our Directory Disclosure, and it is completed during the registration process each spring. Families who opt out of the Directory Disclosure will not have their child's name or photo shared in any school-sponsored publications, including newsletters, social media outlets, and district marketing materials. If you have opted out of the Directory Disclosure in error, please call your child's school and speak with the school secretary.
