STUDENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Copies of the Edmonds
School District “Student Rights and Responsibilities” are kept in the
school office for student and parent reference. A copy will be furnished
to parents on request.
FAMILY RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT
The
District is required to protect families from unauthorized release of
certain information about students. However, “directory information” may
be released without permission of parents, unless parents notify their
child’s school, in writing, of their objection by October 1. Directory
information consists of a student’s name, photograph, address, telephone
number, date and place of birth, dates of attendance, participation in
officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of
members of athletic teams, diplomas and awards received and most recent
previous school attended. Directory information may be released without
consent for the purpose of providing educational scholarship,
vocational/occupational and/or military information, or to the news
media and law enforcement. This information shall not be released for
commercial reasons. You have a right to withhold any or all of this
information. If you do not wish to have such information about your
child released, please let us know in writing by October 1.
INSURANCE
School
insurance is offered to all students. Forms will be sent home in the
first day packet. This is a voluntary program offered for your
convenience should your child be accidentally injured at school.
