This is the "official school news" site for Erath Schools. Through this site, our goal is to share community and school news around the area of Erath, LA.
Note: Photos that are posted are submitted by each school. (See detailed description below.)
This is the "official" Erath School and community news site! Updates for school news including Erath High, Erath Middle, Dozier Elementary and LeBlanc Elementary. Updates from schools, sponsors and leaders will be posted here.
SITE POLICY: We are asking respect with the use of this site. Please note that ALL negative, derogatory and hurtful comments will be deleted and the person will be BLOCKED!
Young viewers are part of the group, so inappropriate language will also be deleted. This site is to be a positive venue for the Erath School Community. We are asking that if you have complaints about a school to contact the administrators using private messages instead of using this as a negative forum in any shape, way or form.
Please DO NOT post advertisements, endorsements for other organizations or businesses. This site is strictly used for sharing Erath School news and updates. The person/people posting ads, etc. will also be blocked. Your cooperation is appreciated!
Photograph Protocol for this Facebook Page: As most of you know, we have STRICT guidelines to adhere to in terms of student photographs placed online. In terms of this school page, 99% of the pictures that are shared and posted are directly from the school and cleared prior to posting. Some schools have more photographs than others simply because those schools and leaders submit more than others. (Note: High School Sports photos and clearance are discussed with the Coach and school leaders at the beginning of each season.)
Shared pictures from parents:
1. Parents may send a couple of photos of their own child at each event. What needs to be done and what are the rules? If parents share photos of their OWN child, that is acceptable! Please keep in mind, you can only send photos of YOUR OWN CHILD, otherwise, you would need to get permission from the leaders or the person in charge of the waivers to be online at the school. (Not all students have permission to be online. In fact, all schools have students who can't be online.) So we HAVE to respect that parent's wishes. The office has the list of waivers for students who can or can't be online.
2. If your child is in a school photo with any another child or in a group, that HAS TO BE cleared by the Principal (or person in charge of the waivers) at that school. What does that mean? That means if anyone else is in the shot EVEN if it is in the background, we can't post it unless those in charge clear it. This is the same rule that applies to the school websites. It is a complicated process, but one we have to follow according to the Vermilion Parish School Board Lawyer. We adhere to the same LAWS and RULES as the school websites. The best policy is to submit photos to the principal (or person in charge of waivers). Once cleared the leader (or person in charge of waivers) will forward it to one of the administrators of this page. After that, it will be posted to this page. If it isn't posted, that means it did not get clearance needed to post. (That has happened in the past.)
