Student Records

The parents/guardians of any student enrolled in school have the right to review any school records which pertain to their child, as stated in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). A request to review records must be made in writing to the Principal at least 24 hours prior to review. This right to review records applies to divorced and non-custodial parents/guardians who, according to the courts, have the same rights pertaining to student records as non-divorced parents. 

The school may deny a non-custodial parent this right only if the school has been notified in writing by the parent with custody that a non-custodial parent/guardian has had the right to access records terminated by the court. Once students reach their eighteenth birthday, they may legally deny either or both parents/guardians the right to review their school records. The student must, however, make this request in writing to the School Counseling office at the high school.

Mandated student records (6A:32-7.3) shall include the following: 

• The student’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth, name of parent(s), gender, standardized assessment results, grades, record of daily attendance, classes attended, grade level completed, year completed, and years of attendance

• Descriptions of the student’s progress according to the district board of education’s student performance data

• History and status of physical health compiled in accordance with State regulations, including immunizations and results of any physical examination(s) given by qualified school district employees

• Records pursuant to rules and regulations regarding the education of students with disabilities; and All other records required by N.J.A.C. 6A.
