Child Protection and Name Lists: Posting to the Daily Bulletin

To the amazing faculty of NIS!

I wanted to share some procedural steps regarding posting name lists of students to our Daily Bulletin.

As our Daily Bulletin is a public website, we will need to follow the following guidelines to be compliant with child protection protocols.

When name lists are shared on the Daily Bulletin, it is better if we don’t include full names.

We thank you for your assistance in this important matter.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
