1. By Saint Agnes School Board direction, no pictures of any Saint Agnes School student(s) will be placed on the Internet site. This action has been extended to include Parish School of Religion (PSR) Students and all school and parish organizational groups (I.e. Scouts). This policy has been amended (February 3, 2003) by the Saint Agnes School Board and approved (February 5, 2003) by the Pastor to include individual and/or group photographs of students that are commemorating special religious, academic and/or sports related events. These photographs can be placed on the Internet site only through the direction and approval of the Principal and/or the Pastor. The parents/guardians of all students identified in any potential photograph must sign a waiver of responsibility for that action. A copy of the waiver must be on file in the School and/or Parish offices prior to placement of the photograph on the Internet site. This amendment has been extended to Parish School of Religion (PSR) Students and to all school and parish organizational groups (i.e. Scouts).

A copy of the Internet Photo Waiver can be downloaded here. The Internet Photo Waiver is in a .pdf file extension format.  At a minimum you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 to view and print this list.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0, you can get a FREE download by just clicking on the Adobe logo below.

The Parish and/or School office will direct the WebEditor on the inclusion and placement of any photographs.  All questions and/or comments should be directed to either the Parish and/or School offices.

2. The complete and full name of any child enrolled in Saint Agnes School, the Parish School of Religion (PSR) and/or participants in all school and parish organizational groups (i.e. Scouts) will not be included on the Internet site. Children will be identified by their first name and last name initial. (I.e. Sally G.). If it is unclear through the text reference, whether the name is that of a child or an adult and no confirmation is readily available, the name will be truncated to match the child's naming rule. This policy has been amended by the Saint Agnes School Board (February 3, 2003) and approved by the Pastor (February 5, 2003) to exclude the names of any students on Parish Web pages that include photographs. This action has been extended to include Parish School of Religion (PSR) Students and all school and parish organizational groups (I.e. Scouts)
