The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student information records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
In that regard, if you wish to inspect your child's records, or if you believe information in your child's record is misleading and you would like to request an amendment, please contact Dr. Katie Kashmanian at 201-670-2790.
Schools may also disclose, without consent, “directory” information that includes a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. For example, this information is often provided as part of a school directory, sports activity sheets or to the village recreation programs.
If you wish to “opt out” of the directory and not have the information provided without your written consent, or if you have any questions, please contact Dr. Katie Kashmanian at 201-670-2790. Such a request to “opt out” must be made in writing by September 16, 2011.
