Student Information Policy
Dear Parents or Guardian,
The New Jersey Legislature has enacted a law that prohibits the posting of student information on school web sites, unless a form developed by the Department of Education is signed by the student’s parent or legal guardian. In order to continue disseminating information to the community about our students, we are requesting that you read the attached permission form developed by the New Jersey Department of Education, check the appropriate option, sign the form and return it to the school.
Please read the following instructions before signing the form!!!
The attached Department of Education form cannot be altered by our district to suit our individual district needs. Please read the following for clarification about each option on the attached permission form as it applies to our district.
The first option on the attached form allows for only a student photo to be posted on the website. Please note, however, that there are instances in which students are recognized by name only. If, therefore, you chose this option, your child’s name will not be posted in an honor roll list, student of the month section, or any other place where recognition is given by name only.
The second option allows for the posting of a student photo and student name on the website. This option allows for your child’s name to be posted for recognition, as well as publication of your child’s photo on the website. Please be reminded of District guidelines, which prohibit the posting of a student’s name and photo together. These guidelines are designed as a safety precaution in order to avoid strangers being able to identify a student by sight and name. If you chose this option, therefore, although your child’s name and photo may appear on the website in different locations, they will never be posted together.
Although the third option allows all personally identifiable student information to be posted on the website, District guidelines prohibit the posting of a student’s residential address, electronic mail address or phone number. This option, therefore, is contrary to District guidelines. Such information will not be posted even if this option is chosen.
The fourth and final option prohibits the North Hunterdon Voorhees Regional High School District from posting your child’s photo or name on the website.
In summary, if you wish to have your child recognized on the district web site through photo or name, please choose the second option on the attached permission form. Our local guidelines will ensure that student photo and name are never associated with each other. If you do not wish to have your child’s information posted, please choose the fourth and final option. No information about your child will be posted on our website if you choose this option.
Finally, if there are any questions regarding this law, or the district guidelines that we apply to protect our students, please contact me directly through email gvargas@nhvweb.net or phone (908) 713-4118.
