Student E-mail Release Form
I understand that as part of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) my records, including grades, are protected and can’t be sent to me via e-mail. I further understand that FERPA has put this requirement in place because there is no guarantee of confidentiality on the Internet. My signature below will signify my understanding that e-mail is considered an unsecured electronic form of communication (i.e. person or persons other than the student may see or intercept e-mail communication).
By providing my e-mail address and signing this release, I am requesting that Francis Tuttle Technology Center send my grades and other communication concerning my school records and account via e-mail or text. This may include course grade reports, attendance status, account balances, financial aid status, and other student information. Any electronic transmission of grades is not considered an official transcript.
I further understand that this authorization will continue until it is revoked in writing and such revocation is delivered to my instructor. The school will assume no responsibility for such a release of records.
Photograph and Video Release
I hereby grant to Francis Tuttle Technology Center and their representatives, the irrevocable and unrestricted rights to use and publish/broadcast photographs, video images, and audio recordings of me, or in which I may be included, for editorial, trade, advertising, and any other purpose and in any manner and medium; to alter the same without restrictions and to copyright the same.
This Release includes but is not limited to recruiting brochures, newsletters, magazine display boards, Francis Tuttle websites, or other electronic forms of media, or for use or to distribute for use in non-technology center publications, electronic or otherwise, at Francis Tuttle’s discretion and without further notice to me.
I hereby agree to release, forever discharge and hold harmless Francis Tuttle, its Board of Education, employees and agents, from and against any claims, damages or liability that I had, have, or may have in the future, arising from or related to any Francis Tuttle use or use by a third party with or without Francis Tuttle’s permission, of photographs, including but not limited to, any editing, reproduction, sale, re-use, blurring, alterations, optical illusion or use in composite form, either intentionally or otherwise, that may occur or be produced in taking, processing, reduction or production of the finished product, its publication or distribution, or in subsequent use. I authorize the instructor or other classmates in charge of this process to post my picture on class websites or class social media sites.
Digital Media Design Acceptable Use Policy
Student Access
Students will have an online portfolio directly related to their school projects.
Student web pages should:
- Contain their original work: content, writing, artwork, photography (etc.) should all be
constructed by the student
- Be professional in nature as this will serve as their portfolio. The brand the students
create for themselves should exemplify them, their work, and the program
- Sites should not contain creepy or daunting material (such as skulls, skeletons, devils,
etc.)
Limitation of Liability
Francis Tuttle makes no guarantee that the functions of the services provided by or through
the Francis Tuttle system will be error-free or without defect. Francis Tuttle will not be
responsible for any damage the student may suffer, including but not limited to, loss of data
or interruptions of service.
Disciplinary Actions
Routine maintenance and monitoring of the server may lead to the discovery that a student has
violated this policy, the handbook, or the law. Francis Tuttle will cooperate fully with local,
state or federal officials in any investigation related to any illegal activities conducted through
the Internet. In the event there is a claim that a student has violated this policy, the student
will be provided with written notice of the suspected violation and an opportunity to present
an explanation before the Director. If the student has violated this policy, the student will lose
their right to host their portfolio on the Francis Tuttle web server(s) and could be removed
from the program.
I understand that if I violate the rules my account can be terminated and I may face other
disciplinary measures.
High School Student and Parent Agreement
The parent will be e-mailed a PDF version of the agreement along with your acknowledgment upon submission of the form.
