Parents or eligible students should submit to the building principal a written request that identifies the records they wish to inspect. request the amendment of the student s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate or misleading. consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent (e.g., disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests). file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the district to comply with the requirements of FERPA. In addition to the rights outlined above, FERPA also provides that a school district may designate certain student information as directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released. Directory information includes a student s name, address, date and place of birth, dates of attendance, major course of study, degrees and awards received, award recognitions, most recent school attended, class schedule, grade level, photograph, class roster, weight and height if a member of an athletic team, and participation in officially recognized activities and sports. Further, directory information will only be made available to parent/faculty associations, representatives of the District s insurance carriers, entities providing educational, occupational, or career opportunities, or to publish in school news publications, school student newspapers, magazines, yearbooks or other student publications, daily or weekly newspapers for journalistic purposes only, athletic, musical or theatrical programs, or news releases. The School District may disclose directory information without prior consent if it has given public notice to parents of students in attendance and eligible students in attendance in the School District of: the type of personally identifiable information that has been designated as directory information; the parent s or eligible student s right to refuse disclosure of certain or all designated information; and the period of time the parent or eligible student has to notify the School District in writing that he/she wishes to withhold consent for disclosure. Requests to view or amend a student s records, or to withhold consent for disclosure of personally identifiable information, may be addressed to the building principal. Requests to withhold consent for disclosure of directory information must be submitted in writing and returned to the building principal by September 15 each school year, or in the case of new students who enter school during the school year, within 15 days of entry. FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW The District Clerk (801-5002) is the district s records access officer who processes requests for inspection and copies of district records under NY s Freedom of Information Law. STUDENT PRIVACY Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, as revised by the No Child Left Behind Act, parents may contact the building principal to opt a child out of the following activities: The collection, disclosure and use of personal information gathered from students for the purpose of marketing or selling that information. This does not apply to the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information collected from students for the exclusive purpose of developing, evaluating or providing educational products or services for or to students. 20 Vicky Zhou, RHS 17 The administration of any survey revealing certain types of personal behavior or political beliefs.

While it is not possible close school for all religious holidays and still meet the district s obligations under state regulations, tests, trips and special activities are curtailed on those holidays that present the greatest conflicts for families. The dates of these days of religious observance are indicated in a shaded box on each month on the calendar.
