Accessing Permissions in Aspen



A few people have asked about how to streamline a search in Aspen for any students without photo permissions.  Parents are sent an email in August asking them to sign in to Aspen and update any information including address changes, emergency contacts, etc.  Parents can also choose to restrict photo permissions (requesting photos of their child should not be taken and shared).  Aspen defaults the permission to 'Yes' so parents must select 'No' if desired.  This is also true of Conditionally Approved Resources used in our classrooms.  Parents can choose yes or no but Aspen will default to 'Yes'. (See our Student Data Privacy Site for more information on approved online resources.)

If you want a list of your students with photo/media release or Conditionally Approved Resources, please follow these steps in Aspen:

  1. Students
  2. Options/Query
  3. Select AZ --> (alphabetical order)
  4. Select “Cond App(roved) Online Res” or "Media Permissions"
  5. Change Value to “No”
  6. Select Add/Search

This brief screencast will walk you through the steps.
