Student Privacy Reminder and Directory Disclaimer

11/14/2021 2:38 pm

Please be sure to practice appropriate use of student information and photos in our Medina Directory and Yearbook. Our students’ and families’ privacy is of utmost importance, and it is our community’s role to uphold this commitment to one another.

See the following disclaimer to review expected use of student information from our 2020-2021 directory. We will be enhancing the guidelines for our 2021-2022 Directory, which is due for release later this year.

NOTICE & DISCLAIMER

Information contained in directories, newsletters, or membership lists published by Medina PTA may not be used for purposes of solicitation either commercially, political or ideological or any other purpose not consistent with the Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers By-Laws (Bellevue PTSA Council Standing Rules Article V, Section 9). The Medina PTA is not responsible for the accuracy of this directory. Additionally, per instructions in PTA and the Law (a basic outline of the State and Federal Rules, Regulations and Laws Which Affect the Private, Nonprofit Tax-exempt Organization) PTAs are prohibited from sharing the lists with anyone who is not a member. The list may not be used for any commercial or political purpose—even by a member. In other words, information we provide to assist various services provided by the PTA, such as our directory, The Byte or the emergency telephone tree, to mention just a few, may not be duplicated elsewhere.
