Confidential Student Data

Confidential Student Information

Protecting the privacy and dignity of our students is a shared responsibility across all roles in White Bear Lake Area Schools. As educators and staff members, we often receive sensitive information about students that helps us support their academic, social, emotional, and physical well-being.

To ensure we handle this information appropriately and in compliance with state and federal laws, all staff are expected to follow district guidelines related to student records, confidentiality, and access.

The guidance linked below outlines:

• What information must be kept in a confidential manila folder

• Who may access sensitive student information and why

• How to document access appropriately

• The connection between FERPA and district confidentiality practices
