Use of Student’s Information & Likeness
I, the undersigned, certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child named on the form and that the child is a student at Montessori Community School, Salt Lake County, State of Utah. In the event of an emergency, natural disaster or accident at Montessori Community School, if the parents (or legal guardians) cannot be immediately contacted, I, the undersigned, grant full power of attorney to whomever Montessori Community School designates, to do as follows:
I am aware that accidents may occur, that there are inherent risks associated with attending school, and/or medical emergencies may occur. Montessori Community School does not have trained medical personnel on staff. School staff have basic CPR/First Aid training. I understand supervision of treatment and emergency action will be undertaken by non medically qualified staff and within the constraints of other duties. I waive and agree to waive claims against the school, its agents, employees, students, or parents/caregivers of other students from damages except in cases of gross negligence. This agreement shall be enforceable on the heirs and assigns of all who sign or are mentioned in this agreement.
I, the undersigned, certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child named on the form and that the child is a student at Montessori Community School, Salt Lake County, State of Utah. I hereby expressly authorize Montessori Community School & professional consultants retained to assist in educating my child to have access to necessary medical, physiological and any other relevant information pertaining to the specific needs of my child. I understand said information will be used solely for the benefit of my child. In such circumstances, all such information shall be kept confidential in compliance with applicable State Statute and Federal Law.
I am aware that I must submit a form with the medication name, the dosage and when it should be administered. I hereby give authorization for the staff of the Montessori Community School to administer any medications on the Medical Release form. I recognize that the staff will not be held liable for any illness or injury resulting from the administration of this medication, and will not be held responsible for reimbursement of medical expenses resulting from such action. I understand that prescription medication must be in the container in which it was prescribed and must be specifically for the child named.
The Montessori Community School requires certain immunization records to be submitted at enrollment in order to better protect our entire community. These records are kept in strict confidence and maintained in compliance with Utah’s Health Department. Student Immunization Records will be shared with the Utah Health Department as Utah law requires and medical status will also be disclosed in the case of an outbreak or illness.
I, the undersigned, certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child named on the form and that the child is a student in Montessori Community School, Salt Lake County, State of Utah. I understand my child will be traveling on field trips/tours sponsored by the school and there will be multiple field-trips throughout the year. If the parent or legal guardians cannot be immediately contacted, I, the undersigned, grant full power of attorney to whomever Montessori Community School designates as the director in charge of the field trip, in the event of an accident or illness involving my student at any time from the commencement to the termination of the field trip, to do as follows:
I will not hold Montessori Community School, its agents or employees responsible in case of accident or injury as a result of this participation. I waive and agree to waive claims against the school, its agents, employees, students, or parents/caregivers of other students from damages except in cases of gross negligence.
I understand that Montessori Community School requires a minimum of ten (10) hours of Parent Participation for each child enrolled at Montessori Community School during each academic school year. Parent Participation hours may be fulfilled by helping in a variety of ways, including doing laundry for a classroom, driving on a field trip, assisting with PSA (Parent School Alliance) events, donating books or materials to a classroom, etc. Opportunities to support the school, classrooms and teachers are communicated throughout the year.
I am aware that my hours should be tracked on the FACTS Family Portal under the Family Home section in Service Hours. When adding Parent Participation Hours, I will ensure the correct family member is chosen at the top and the Verified By field will contain the school member I coordinated with to arrange my participation.
I further understand that hours will be approved by office administration and if the hours are not fulfilled by the end of the academic year, I pledge a $25/hour equivalent donation to MEF or an organization of my choosing from the school’s list of nonprofit organizations that have a mission of education or are in alignment with the core values and mission of MCS.
*While Parent Participation is highly encouraged, in-person volunteer hours may be suspended if there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent parent involvement at the school.
I understand that depending on the type of volunteering I choose, for instance volunteering in the classroom or with students directly, I may be required to submit a Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) and Background Check through Child Care Licensing. Before volunteers begin, I agree to coordinate with the school to obtain these items. Details and sign-up options are available in the welcome information or by contacting the school directly.
I am aware that Montessori Community School employs industry standard best practice to safeguard its online records including but not limited to, secure data centers, 256 Bit SSL encryption, and network firewalls. I understand that Montessori Community School therefore does not assume responsibility for inadvertent disclosures caused by breaches of the network or encryption.
I understand that Montessori Community School will provide a student directory to our families upon request. Information included in this directory may be designated by parents in the Online Enrollment Form.
I agree that Montessori Community School reserves the right to share student information, as stated on our Online Enrollment Form, with related outside entities; some of these include but are not limited to our online record keeping system and our emergency notification system.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) gives parents and students over 18 (“eligible students”) the following rights to the student’s education records.
Montessori Community School requires your permission to reproduce, through printed, audio, visual, or electronic means, recordings of school activities in which you or your child has participated and which are related to the school’s mission.
I am aware that in an effort to protect the privacy of each student, Montessori Community School staff may use first names to identify each student on Montessori Compass and other platforms used internally by the school, parents and organizations associated with the school.
I authorize the school to make reasonable use of recordings of school activities in which I or my child are involved in order to train teachers, increase awareness, and promote continuation and improvement of programs through the use of mass media, displays, brochures, websites, social media and other means of communication.
I authorize the use of my child’s image/likeness or my image/likeness, and/or voice, without any compensation to me, for the school and/or its authorized representatives to own exclusive right, title, and interest, including copyright and/or any other property interest, in these Recordings. I agree that the school and/or its authorized representatives shall have the unlimited right to use the Recordings for any purposes stated or related to the school.
I understand that due to the nature of digital media, the school has no control over parents or other users sharing a student's image/likeness online.
I understand that I may request to have my child’s image removed from the school’s public marketing materials. Should I choose to have my child's image removed from marketing materials I will contact the administrative office with a written request.
I hereby expressly agree to indemnify the school and waive my right to pursue any action against Montessori Community School and all of its agents, employees, students, and parents/caregivers of students for all claims except those arising from gross negligence. I further expressly agree to waive any and all claims that may arise from an alleged violation of these provisions. If a parent, legal guardian, or authorized contact pursues legal action against Montessori Community School, its agents and / or employees, the moving party shall be responsible for the legal fees of the non-moving party, whether successful or not.
I am aware that in the case of an emergency, natural disaster, school closure, or other important update, crucial information will be sent school wide via text message, email and phone call. Charges accrued for these communications (ie; charges rendered by mobile carriers) will not be the responsibility of Montessori Community School.
I authorize that I have received permission from all additional contacts to add their information to the Montessori Community School system and that they have been notified of these terms and conditions.
The purpose of this policy is to provide flexible access to Montessori Community School while also maintaining a safe and secure facility through the limited issuance of key cards.
At the beginning of each academic year (or when a student begins attending school) key card(s) may be issued on behalf of each student depending on family requirements. The purpose of the key card is to provide access during regular operating hours of 8:00am-6:00pm on school days only. Key cards will be used for school-approved entry to the facility only.
When requested, the school may issue an additional key card to a student’s approved authorized pick-up person or legal guardian. Cost for additional key cards will be $20 each. Requests must specify the name of the individual who will be using the key card, the student that the key card is associated with, and an alternative pick-up form must be submitted. Key cards issued will only work for the period for which each child is enrolled. Key card(s) for returning families may be reactivated once a family has completed the online enrollment form. The school officials may deactivate key cards at their discretion.
School approval of key cards for alternative pick-ups and guardians will be dependent upon the following:
Security of school facilities is the responsibility of our entire community. MCS administration appreciates diligence and attention to these important matters.
Access to the school may be restricted at times in response to emergency circumstances. In the event that this happens the school will not issue keycards and FOBs and/or disable access to existing keycards and FOBs.
The School’s duties and obligations shall be suspended immediately without notice during all periods that the School is closed because of force majeure events including, but not limited to, any fire, act of God, hurricane, war, governmental action, act of terrorism, epidemic, pandemic, required quarantining, or any other event beyond the School’s control. If such an event occurs, the School’s duties and obligations will be postponed until such time as the School, in its sole discretion, may safely reopen. In the event that the School cannot reopen due to an event under this clause, or a student misses school as a result of an event under this clause, the School is under no obligation to refund any portion of the tuition paid.
I understand that I must agree to these Terms & Conditions in order for my child to attend Montessori Community School of Salt Lake City. I am aware that these Terms & Conditions change occasionally. I agree that the Terms & Conditions apply to myself and my enrolled child. The period to which these Terms & Conditions apply starts when I agree to them. I understand that I will be asked to sign updated Terms and Conditions periodically throughout my student’s enrollment at MCS. I understand that I may revoke my agreement to these Terms & Conditions at any time by writing to the school and that doing so will change my student’s enrollment status to withdrawn as soon as the request is received by the school.
