There may be times during the school year when different media groups (newspapers, television, university, school production class, school public relations, etc.) will cover activities at AXIS with articles, video, or still photography that may be published. In addition, AXIS may want to include school-oriented articles, video, or photography on our own website and social media pages.

If parents DO NOT want their child(ren) to be photographed or videotaped for news media or school publicity purposes, please complete this “opt-out media form.” 

AXIS will make every reasonable effort to identify the primary subjects in photographs and to not publish close-up photos or video of students on the opt-out list. This policy relates to classroom activities or school events that take place during the school day. Events and activities outside of the school day are not covered by this “opt-out” option.

School-wide performances, such as Partner Language Performances, are part of the instructional program and are required for all students. While the media opt-out will be honored for how photographs and videos from these events are used (e.g., avoiding close-ups in public postings), students may still appear in wide-angle or group shots as part of normal event documentation.
