Empowering Students to Achieve Excellence

DYRSD Photo/Media Opt-Out Process

DYRSD Photo/Media Opt-Out Process

Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District uses photos and/or videos of students and student work to showcase educational activities and programs in our schools and share the D-Y experience with families and the community.

Student photographs and/or videos may be used on the district website, yearbooks and/or social media. 

Student photos and videos are generally used without student names, unless a specific award, honor, or achievement by the student is being highlighted. 

Student names are released without photos for Honor Rolls.

Names of Dennis-Yarmouth High School graduates are shared each year.

Occasionally, student photos and/or news may be shared with local media outlets.

If you DO NOT give Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District permission to include your student’s image or name in any way, please send a letter to your school principal explicitly stating your wish to opt out. This letter must be received by October 1 (or 30 days after registration for students entering mid-year).

Please note that DYRSD does not control the disclosure or use of photographs or video taken by participants at events that are open to parents, community members, and/or the news media. Additionally, this form does not apply to students participating in public events, such as performances, academic competitions, and athletic events. Student photos and names from these events may be published by the news media.

Upon receipt of an opt-out letter, school staff will document your student’s status in PowerSchool Student Information System for the current school year.
