Policies

At the start of each school year, parents have the opportunity to determine whether or not a child’s name, likeness and/or classwork can be posted on the internet in either video or photographic form.  The Student/Parent Handbook contains a separate section that must be signed and initialed by parents to indicate the acknowledgment of our Media Release (as well as other) policies.  Below you will find our policy for the use of student images, videos and examples of excellent work in the classroom.

Publicity Releases & Web Publications

Effingham County Schools publicize students’ outstanding achievements and activities through various media.  This may include, but is not limited to, honor roll lists, yearbooks, photographs and videos of classroom and/or extracurricular activities.  In addition, exemplary student work, student pictures, and student’s first and last names may be published on school-sponsored websites.  Parents, legal guardians, or eligible students may make a written request to the principal of the school where a student is enrolled, within 10 days of enrollment or the first 10 days of the academic school year, to request that such information not be published or used on any school-sponsored websites.
Please note that you must take action if you do not want anything related to your child posted on the school or district website.  You can find the full entire Verification of Receipt form here.

To that end, the board of education has enacted a strict policy governing acceptable use of the Internet and technology resources. The policy is found in the link below.
