Annual Notifications

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

As required under FERPA, the district would like to inform parents/guardians, and students 18 years of age or older currently in attendance, to their right to:

  • inspect and review the student's education records,
  • request that records be amended to ensure that they are accurate and not misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy or other rights, and
  • control disclosures from the student's education records, with certain exceptions.

 

Public relations use of student data/photos

From time to time, school district officials may release student directory information (defined as name, grade, school, town of residence, photograph, participation in activities and/or sports, any honors or awards received, etc.) for use in school district publications and within district websites and district social media sites, or to the media for public relations purposes.

Parents who object to the disclosure of their child's directory information should notify BOTH the superintendent of schools and their child's building principal — in writing — on or before September 15 of each school year.

Release of student information to military recruiters

Pursuant to the federal No Child Left Behind Act, the school district must disclose to military recruiters and institutions of higher learning, upon request, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of our high school juniors and seniors. However, parents or students may request, in writing, that the district not release such information. Parents, or students who are at least 18 years old, wishing to exercise their option to withhold their consent to the release of this information must contact the high school principal's office by October 15 in any school year.
