Directory Information/FERPA Notice/Opt-out Information

Parents, and students 18 years or older, have the right to refuse to permit the designation of any or all of the categories of personally identifiable information with respect to that student as directory information. This includes addresses, birth date, birthplace, telephone number, dates of attendance, activities and sports participation, weight and height (if members of a sports team), awards received, and major fields of study. Parents, and students 18 years or older, who wish to exercise this right, shall notify the district in writing within ten (10) days of the publication of this notice. Such written notice shall be addressed to the school in which the named student is registered.

THIS IS WHAT GIVES THE RIGHT TO VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS (COLLEGE RECRUITERS, MILITARY RECRUITERS, ETC.) TO RECEIVE CONTACT INFORMATION ON A STUDENT.

IN ADDITION, PER RCW 28A.150.515 AND RCW 28B.10.041, SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO SHARE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT DIRECTORY INFORMATION WITH THE OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION (OSPI). 

This new data collection is scheduled to begin in November 2024.  

STUDENTS OR THEIR PARENTS/GUARDIANS MAY OPT OUT OF HAVING THIS INFORMATION SHARED WITH OSPI. IF YOU WISH TO OPT-OUT OF SHARING THIS INFORMATION FOR YOUR 9TH, 10TH, 11TH OR 12TH GRADER, PLEASE NOTIFY THE HIGH SCHOOL OFFICE OF THE DATA THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO OPT OUT OF SHARING.
