Media Consent Forms

In order for your child to be photographed, filmed, or videotaped for non-profit use by CPS, he or she must have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian on file at school. Consent forms are generally handed out during the first week of school. Consent forms for students are available for download below. Return the signed form to your child's school.
