Newspaper Photographs & Student Information

The Prior Lake American and Savage Pacer newspapers often send photographers to school to take pictures during special events and other learning experiences. Most students are pleased and excited to see themselves pictured in a community publication. However, if you prefer that your child’s picture not appear in the newspaper, or in our school blog, please inform the principal, Patrick Glynn, in writing by October 8, 2010.

In addition to this request, parents may also request that the school not release specific student directory information. Please refer to the Grainwood Parent/Student Handbook for a listing of the student information that is regarded by state law as public information. District #719 does not provide lists of students’ names, phone numbers or addresses to any other organizations or individuals. Thank you for your assistance in this matter!

Written requests regarding release of student information and photographs are due by October 8, 2010.
