Media consent and FOIP

As a part of the registration process, families will be asked to complete an Enrollment (or Re-Enrollment form for returning families).

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.

We have prepared this Question & Answer document to explain more about why we ask for consent and what it could mean for your child.
