Use of Pictures & Videos of Scholars Achievement First and AFAHS often take pictures and videos of scholars during regular school activities to capture the joy and excitement of learning that takes place and to celebrate the accomplishments of our teachers and scholars. Pictures and videos taken of scholars and staff are used for many purposes. We put pictures of scholars and staff in our scholar information system so that teachers and staff can identify all scholars and call them by name (internal); we publish photo directories of scholars and staff (internal); and we post pictures of scholars and staff at the school (internal). It is AF’s policy to use pictures and videos of scholars for these uses. By reading the family handbook, parents are consenting to allow their child’s photo to be used for internal purposes. If the parent does not want his or her child’s photo to be used for such purposes, he or she should let the school’s Director of School Operations know in writing. AF also allows pictures and videos to be used for print and broadcast media purposes (external), and includes pictures and videos of scholars and staff on our website, on social media, and in promotional materials used to recruit scholars and staff and explain AF to external audiences such as charter authorizers, researchers, and funders (external). By signing the Media/Publications Consent and Release form, parents are consenting to allow their child’s photo to be used for external purposes. If the parent does not want his or her child’s photo to be used for such purposes, he or she should not sign the media release. Scholar Records The school administration is responsible for all scholar records. They will discuss, explain, and/or make available to an eligible scholar (18 years old or greater) or parents/guardians any records on file. If a parent would like to examine a child’s record, the parent should submit a request in writing to the Principal or the Director of School Operations. Within 10 days, the eligible scholar
