Student Permissions Details

Please carefully read the below information before making your selection in the Student Permissions section in ParentVUE 

Student Directory Information Release 

Federal Law requires that District 200, with certain exceptions, obtain your consent prior to the disclosure of personal identifiable information from your child's education records. However, District 200 may disclose appropriately designated "directory information" without your consent, unless you advise the district to the contrary. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow District 200 to include this type of information from your child's education records in certain school publications. For example:

  • PTA Directory

  • A playbill showing your student's name in a drama or musical production

  • The yearbook

  • Class lists

  • Honor roll or recognition lists

  • Graduation or promotion programs

  • Sports or co-curricular activity sheets such as wrestling, football, marching band or student council

  • District 200 has designated the following information as "directory information:" Student's name and address, parent telephone number, parent email, participation in school-recognized sports and activities, weight and height (members of athletic teams), gender, photograph, video or digital images used for informational or news-related purposes, degrees, honors and awards, major field of study, dates of attendance at school, date and place of birth, grade level, and most recent educational agency attended.

Acceptable Use Policy and Waiver 

District 200 would like your acknowledgment of our acceptable use policy regarding electronic network/internet use within the district along with the steps the district takes to safeguard students while online.  When a student uses our electronic networks, they agree with the following statements:

I understand and will abide by the rules and regulations contained in the district's policy and administrative regulations regarding Internet and electronic network use. The policy and administrative regulations may be accessed online.

I understand that access to the internet is designed for educational purposes and that the district has taken precautions to eliminate controversial materials. However, I also recognize it is impossible for the district to restrict access to all such materials, and I will hold the district harmless, its employees, agents, or board members, for any harm caused by materials or software obtained via the internet. As a parent or guardian, I accept full responsibility for supervision if and when my child's use of the internet is not in the school setting.

Media Opt-Out

Community Unit School District 200 proudly celebrates our students’ achievement and activities, and highlights the great things happening in our schools each day. As such, CUSD 200 uses photos and videos of students, written work, and/or artwork in digital and print publications including but not limited to, social media, websites, press releases, print and digital newsletters, and mailings. 

If the student is not opted out of media release, consent or notice is not needed before the school uses such material if the student is not identified by first and last name. Parental permission is required if a student’s work is identified by first and last name in a print or digital publication. 

While the school limits access to buildings by outside photographers, it has no control over news media or other entities that may publish a picture of a named or unnamed student. School staff members will not, however, identify a student for an outside photographer without parental permission.
