The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students under 18 years of age ("eligible student") certain rights with respect to the student's educational records.
 
These rights are:
 
(1) The right to inspect and review the student's educational records within 45 days of the day the school receives a request for access. Parents or eligible students submit to the school principal a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

(2) The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate or misleading.

Parents or eligible student may ask the school to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate of misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the school will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

(3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. These officials are defined as personnel with assigned educational responsibility for the student.

(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the school to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-4605

Dear Parents, Keeping parents informed and involved helps to assure student safety and improve student success. With today's on-the-go lifestyles, it has become more difficult for schools to reach families quickly and effectively. This is why our school has decided to implement a new system called Instant AlertTM for Schools.
 
Instant Alert for Schools is an essential tool for notification and communication. Within minutes of an emergency, school officials can use Instant Alert to deliver a single, clear message to the students' parents or guardians by telephone, cell phone, e-mail, pager or PDA in any combination. The system can also be used to notify you of a school closing due to inclement weather. It's an equally effective way to keep you informed of everyday activities, such as event times and locations as well as schedule changes.

The system is Internet based, allowing each family to maintain a secure, password protected online profile. Included on this page is an instruction sheet for accessing the system and creating your profile. You can log into your profile at any time to update your contact information. Maintaining the accuracy of your profile will increase the ability of the school to keep you informed.


Your online profile will enable you to: ·

  Input your personal contact information
  Select which type of school information you would like to receive on each of your contact devices 
Send yourself a test text message to make sure your text messaging contact information is entered correctly
  Add contact information of other caretakers of your children, such as a grandparent or neighbor
  Designate these caretakers as the main contact for your children if you are out of town
 
In addition to receiving communication alerts on your designated contact devices, the alert messages will also appear in your online profile. You can use this feature to read any alerts that may have been erased or deleted accidentally on your other contact devices.

The system will be ready for you at https://instantalert.honeywell.com. We encourage all of you to take advantage of this opportunity, as we will be utilizing this system for some of our school-to-home communication.

If you need assistance with your profile, please send an email to InstantAlertHelp@Honeywell.com, or contact the school at 973-383-7392 x230.

If you do not have access to a computer, please feel free to come to the school to use our facilities.
