Reminder for families re: recording with personal digital devices on school property

Dear Families,

Student and staff privacy, safety, and well-being are Surrey Schools’ highest priorities. 

With the increasing availability of personal digital recording devices such as smart glasses, smart watches, and cell phones, a reminder that students, staff, parents, guardians, families, visitors, and community members, may not record, photograph, film, or capture audio of students or staff on school property without their prior consent.

This includes taking photos, recording videos or capturing audio in classrooms, common areas, hallways, playgrounds, school events or other school spaces on district property. Please see the Surrey School District’s policy pertaining to digital devices below:

We recognize that personal digital devices are a part of everyday life and can support learning, communication and accessibility. At the same time, we ask families to review these expectations with their children.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please reach out any time with your questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Haffner 

Principal
