SOCIAL MEDIA & PHOTO USE POLICY

1. Arizona Lutheran Academy may use student first names and full names on official social media platforms in the context of school-related activities, achievements, or public recognition. This media includes newsletters, articles, our website, school-sponsored social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, etc.), and for general media purposes.

This includes but is not limited to:

• Athletic accomplishments (e.g., all-region, Character Matters certificates, team rosters)
• Academic honors
• Fine arts events and awards
• Event programs or features (e.g., Gala, Senior Spotlights)

Parents/guardians who prefer that their student’s full name not be used in social media may opt out by submitting a written request to Jen Bode at JBode@ALAcoyotes.org at any time. (Please indicate: first name can be shared, first name with last initial, or no portion of child's name can be shared)


2. Arizona Lutheran Academy may use student photos, interviews, and videos on official social media platforms for educational and informational purposes. This media may be used in newsletters, articles, our website, school-sponsored social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, etc.), and for general media purposes.

Parents/guardians who prefer that their student’s photo not be used on social media may opt out by submitting a written request to Jen Bode at JBode@ALAcoyotes.org at any time.

Note:

• Opting-out of social media will not apply to the yearbook. Your student's name and photo will be shared in the yearbook.
• If your student is included in a photo or video as part of a large group or public area gatherings where the student is not clearly identified, that photo may be used with or without an opt-out notification on file.
• If you choose to opt out of photos, be sure your child is aware of your wishes.
