Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 and its schools may use your child’s name and/or photo/image on the school district’s websites (including District-sponsored social media) and in newsletters, school directories and athletic/event programs. Without seeking parent/guardian consent, schools could allow, FOR EXAMPLE, use of video from your student’s class to highlight a program; local newspapers to run a yearbook photo or picture of your student’s class engaged in a learning activity; a local non-profit to publicize your student’s name for participating in a school fundraiser that benefited the organization; or the District to post a photo online of your student learning.

Additionally, from time-to-time, military recruiters and postsecondary educational institutions request the names, telephone numbers, and addresses of our students. The school must provide this information unless the parent(s)/guardian(s) request that it not be disclosed without prior consent.

“Directory Information” could include:

student’s name
address
grade level
birthdate and place
parents’ names
mailing addresses
electronic mail addresses
telephone numbers
period of attendance in the school

If you do NOT want Lincoln-Way to release or publish information, photos and videos of your student for the purposes outlined above, you must make a request in writing (print or email) and send it to Jen Vujosevic, Director of Community Relations, no later than August 5th, 2024 for the 2024-2025 school year.

PLEASE NOTE:

A letter submitted for the previous year will not carry over. You must submit a new form for each school year.

This written opt-out DOES NOT include the yearbook. If you would like your child to be excluded from the yearbook, please provide notice to your child’s school.

The District is not responsible for photos and videos taken by parents or the media at events that are open to the public. More information about your rights under FERPA is available online at www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html.
