Thank you for your interest in Newberg Public Schools.

The communications office is responsible for sharing news and information about what's happening in Newberg schools. We value professional relationships based on fairness and accuracy and are committed to working with you. We will share information, connect you with employees and students and provide details about events in a timely matter whenever possible.

Inquiries
Media can contact Newberg School District communications office directly before contacting any school, employee or student regarding a school or district issue. We will help accommodate your request and make necessary arrangements. However, we will not allow media activity that negatively interferes with teaching and learning, compromises safety ot misrepresents the district, schools or students. Discretion will be used in responding to requests based on FERPA guidelines, scope of request, potential disruption to the school operation, deadline and other factors.

Photography
Reporters and photographers should check with the school to confirm photo releases before filming, posting, printing or airing images. Public events such as athletic events, theater or musical performances do not require permission from the communications office.

Outside organizations wishing to photograph or film students at school for commercial use must first contact the communications office. Parents will be required to sign a separate release for use of their student's image.

Media on school grounds
Members of the media should contact the communications office for permission before going to a school. If you have not prearranged a school visit, you may be asked to leave school grounds. Once you have permission, please check in at the school office. Students and staff will be advised that they have the right to refuse to be photographed or interviewed, videotaped
