Gainfield Elementary School

Students and Region 15 Staff appearing in videotapes, in photographs, and on audiotapes

Videotapes, photographs, and audiotapes are sometimes made of students and staff involved in school-sponsored curricular and extra-curricular activities. These videotapes, photographs, and audiotapes, in whole or in part, along with instructional materials and products of instruction, are used to produce multimedia presentations shown in Region 15 schools, to educators in Connecticut and other states, and put on cable Channel 17 in Southbury and cable Channel 16 in Middlebury. In some cases, Region 15 sells educational materials, including multimedia materials, to other educators, and uses the money received for Region 15 instructional programs. If you do not want your child or your child’s work photographed or filmed on these occasions, you must notify the principal’s office, in writing, at the beginning of school. Please indicate the name and grade of the student. If you have a question or a concern about this procedure, please contact the principal of your school.
