Northside Independent School District

Parental Permission for Web Publishing

Dear Parents:

The Internet is a vast and rapidly growing worldwide network of computers. No individual or group runs the Internet, rather, it is a collective effort of thousands of information providers such as schools, governments, nonprofit groups, commercial groups, and individuals. Internet users now number in the hundreds of millions.

All of Northside Independent School District's campuses are able to use the Internet's rich resources, and also publish information on the Internet. As part of many technology applications employed across the curriculum, the school may wish to publish a variety of teacher and student products on the Internet. The types of products may include, but are not limited to: creative writing, artwork, and slide and audio/visual presentations produced by the students and their teachers.

We will not publish grades or student test scores, students' last names, home addresses, phone numbers, or materials protected by federal regulations. If we choose to use a digital image of your child, it will only be if your child is in a group and only your child's first name will be used. If we choose to display your child's work, only your child's first name will be used.

In order for your child's work, first name or digital image to appear on a Northside campus Web page, we need to have your written permission. Please sign and return the bottom portion of this form. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Campus Instructional Technologist (CIT) or Campus Webmaster at your child’s school.
