Arp ISD TigerVision Media Release Form

Dear Parent/Guardian,

The faculty and administration of Arp ISD are proud to continue our affiliation with our local cable company which allows our students the opportunity to air school events over our Community Access Channel, TIGERVISION. Arp students are also involved in creating Web Pages, Podcasts, and Blogs for the district. Many of these pages include classroom pictures or special materials created by students in the Arp schools. Students at Arp Schools are also given online space to publish student projects and to display products. As a result of the excellent work done by Arp students, news teams and/or magazines may also request interviews on occasion. Any video, Web page, blog, podcast, publication or project created by our students or staff will comply with the following Posting & Publishing Policies. The Arp ISD Posting Policies require that Arp ISD faculty, staff, and students present all students, community, faculty, and stakeholders as successful and motivated in academics and UIL events (including athletics). All productions and publications for Web, CD, video, newspapers, magazines, yearbook, or any other media will:
