Student Records
Student records are collected and maintained in a manner that provides our team with the necessary information and protects the privacy and review rights of students and families. All reasonable measures are taken to prevent unauthorized access to or the dissemination of student records. Parents/guardians have the right to inspect, copy, or challenge the contents of their child’s records. These rights become those of the student once the student reaches the age of 18. The Student Handbook contains a definition of student records as well as information about accessing student records.
