Directory Information
“Directory information” means one or more of the following items: a pupil’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous public or private school attended by the pupil.
Under California law, directory information is not subject to the same degree of confidentiality and privacy protection as pupil records. However, to the extent possible, the school will minimize access to student residence address, phone numbers and email addresses, unless the parents/guardians consent to broader access. To the extent possible, other users of directory information should also try to minimize access to and distribution of student phone numbers and personal email addresses, unless the parents/guardians consent to broader access.
In no cases should commercial enterprises have access to directory information.
Lists of room parents/guardians, students in each grade, phone numbers, email addresses, and any other personal information about families and students are considered confidential and may be used only for the purposes specified.
