Federal law requires parental permission, or the student s if 18 or older, before disclosing information, other than directory information, from student educational records. Directory information is not covered by the privacy law and includes a student s name, address, phone number, date of birth, dates of attendance, participation in activities, awards received, and other information. Information, videotapes, and photographs are sometimes released in District, school, and community newspapers or on broadcast media when students receive awards or participate in school activities. If you do not want directory information released, please notify the school principal in writing. A copy of your request is kept at the school and the District office, and must be renewed annually.
Parents have the right to review any or all student records with the principal.
