    Data Privacy

     

    Protecting Student Information is critically important...and it is OUR responsibility! 

    Did you know?

    • that all teachers and staff must comply with the Federal FERPA law? 

    • that whenever a student’s name and state ID number is combined in an email that is sent to another
    teacher or to the principal, you are violating FERPA? 
         
    • that FERPA does not allow you to post a student list with student names and ID numbers publicly...like
    on a bulletin board or outside your door?
