Privacy and Access to Records

Maintaining confidentiality is the legal, ethical, and professional responsibility of every member of the school community, including students, parents/guardians, teachers, aides, and all other employees. Every member of the school community must respect the privacy of all students, families, employees, the principal, and the pastor. Room parent rosters, class lists, telephone numbers, email address lists, or any other personal information about families and students are considered confidential and may be used only for the purposes specified.  

Non-custodial parents will be given access to unofficial copies of transcripts and school records unless there is a court order to the contrary.​

Transfer of Records

Whenever a student transfers, the former school shall provide a copy of the Cumulative Pupil Record and the original health records to the intended school when the intended school requests the information and the student's parents/guardians submit a release. The original Cumulative Pupil Record shall remain at the school. 

The former school shall record the transfer, reason for the transfer, and name of the school where the student is transferring or entering after graduation.

A school will not give official transcripts to students or parents/guardians. 

​Principals may be required by the county office of education to report the transfer, withdrawal, or expulsion of any student. 

The school grants full credit for all work a student accomplishes up to the time of transfer, withdrawal, or expulsion.
