Student Confidentiality Overview

Student Confidentiality Overview

It is the policy of this school district to protect the privacy rights of students and all matters confidential. By law, sometimes, it is necessary to involve police, social services, probation or other public agencies regarding the welfare of students. District staff will take appropriate measures to ensure that the confidentiality of students is maintained during these contacts.

Pursuant to applicable law, the Riverside Academy Programs gives notice to the parents of students of their rights regarding "directory information." Directory information includes the following information relating to a student: the student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, and other similar information. Directory information does not include identifying information on a student's religion, race, color, social position or nationality.

The information listed above shall be public information which the Riverside Academy Programs may disclose from the education records of a student.  In order to make any or all of the directory information listed above "private" (i.e. subject to consent prior to disclosure), the parent/guardian or student must make a written request to the Superintendent of Schools within thirty (30) days after the date of the last publication of this notice. This written request must include the name of student; home address; school presently attended by student; parent's legal relationship to student, if applicable; and specific category or categories of directory information which is not to be made public without the parent's or student's prior written consent. Students 18 years of age and older must give the Riverside Academy Programs written notice if they do not want their academic records shared with their parents or guardians.
