Photo/Media Release
Dear Parent/Guardian, We, at Forest Friends Preschool, will be taking photos and videos of you child during their activities and adventures throughout the day. We seek your consent for the publishing or use of media in which your child may be included. The media may also be used for bulletin boards, marketing or advertising, and/or marketing updates posted via our website, Instagram, Facebook, or email. Should you decide to take back your authorization later on, you may do so in writing. For protection of privacy of the child, we guarantee that names and any other personal information will not be included.

I allow my child's picture to be usedI do not allow my child's picture to be used
If no, do you allow your child's picture to be sent via BrightWheel for group pictures to other families in the program?

No, I prefer pictures of my child only go to me (if you opt for this, just note that your child will be removed from group pictures and you might get less photo updates throughout the day because it'll just be trickier to manage for teachers!)Yes, group pictures are fine to send via BrightWheel
As part of our anti-bias curriculum and environment, we want to make sure every child's identity is represented in our classroom spaces. This means that we will be talking about different family structures, cultures, holidays, etc. Please let us know what holidays you celebrate at home so we can make sure to chat about them during our school year! We also love to have parents come in to chat about their family's cultural traditions/special activities. If you are interested in doing something like this, please note it here!

Seasonal: On sunny and warm days, we ask that you apply both sunscreen and insect repellent right before dropping your child off. We will be outside all day and these are both essentials to ensure a comfortable day for your student. Sunscreen should be used on all sunny days, even in the winter months. Insect repellent will not be needed in the winter. If you consent, we will reapply both of these throughout the day. You must send along your own repellent and sunscreen and it will be kept with your child’s extra set of clothing.

Initial  I recognize that my child may engage in permitted activities including:
● Hiking on public trails, sidewalks, and paths

● Campfires in designated areas monitored by staff at all times. “Campfire” may include the use of a camp stove or heater that may use wood, solar energy or fuel.

● In cases of severe weather warnings
● In cases of a natural disaster
● General public who may pose a perceived risk/threat to the safety of students and/or staff.
