The purpose of these protocols is to provide clear direction regarding the use of images on official and unofficial communication platforms and communications between ICS employees and students. There will be consequences for any violation of these protocols.
As a school, we do get permission from parents to use photos and videos of students and products completed by students on official ICS social media, printed and other communication and marketing platforms.
We do not get permission from parents to use photos or videos of their students or products completed by students for use on personal social media accounts, presentations, printed material or on other personal media or communication platforms. When you represent ICS on social media (official or personal), you must adhere to these policies.
Anything posted/shared on an ICS official platform MUST follow the “NO-PHOTO” list of students. For employees, this can be found in the Employee Center.
Official ICS Communication Platforms and Accounts includes but is not limited to:
ICS Facebook page
ICS Twitter Accounts
ICS Instagram Accounts
ICS Website
ICS Community FB page
ICS Alumni Page
ICS Google websites, such as Employee Center, Employee Directory, Divisional Handbooks, ICS Weekly
ICS Email accounts
ICS Printed Documents
ICS Posters on Campus
ICS Presentations to parents
ICS Sponsored presentations at conferences
ICS recruitment materials
Toddle
Powerschool
Google classroom
Anything that is used for ICS business, communications or marketing purposes, is an official use.
If you are posting as a representative of ICS and sharing ICS practices, programs and/or classroom work, you will need to pause and make sure we are following these protocols.
If you are at a public ICS event and snapping photos of your own child and want to post these on your personal social media and there happens to be other students in the background, it is ok to post. It is ok, because it is a public event and you are not representing ICS.
