school events and activities. If you choose "Consent is not granted", your child's
picture will still appear in the school yearbook, if the school publishes a yearbook.

Showcasing notable student work and accomplishments

public. This may include student essays, projects, or artwork. A great deal of student
work is recognized through awards, prizes, and scholarships. When this recognition
happens, we want to tell the community about it. We are proud of our students, and
showcasing their talents and abilities demonstrates our commitment to supporting
them while they learn and grow.
