Media Consent and FOIP
Part of the registration form explains what information Chinook's Edge is permitted to gather consistent with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP). Also, we ask families for permission to share a students' personal information including their name, photograph, video, work and activities publicly. The intent behind this is to showcase and celebrate student achievement, and to create a sense of school and community pride in our students and schools.
