PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO OF STUDENTS
Photographs and videos of students are routinely used to enhance newsletters, websites, and displays. They are also used to record, acknowledge, and communicate student learning activities with the JNSA2 community. Students’ photos and videos are used on class blogs, closed social media groups and, from time to time, on our JNSA2 social media platforms. 

Explicit consent is required for photos to be used in other publications that are not affiliated with the JNSA2.
