Student directory information is designed to be used internally within the District. For the purpose of this policy and other policies relating to student directory information, student is defined as an enrolled individual in kindergarten through twelfth grade, including children in School District sponsored child care programs, if any. Directory information is defined in the annual notice.  It may include the student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, email address, grade level, enrollment status, 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, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, student ID number that is displayed on a student identification card (provided it cannot be solely used to access the student's education records), photograph and other likeness, and other similar information.
 
The District may designate that certain directory information is available to specific parties and/or for a specific purpose.
 
Prior to developing a student directory or to giving general information to the public, parents of students, including those open enrolled out of the district and parents of children home-schooled in the district, will be given notice annually of the intent to develop a directory or to give out general information and have the opportunity to deny the inclusion of their child’s information in the directory or in the general information distributed about the students.
 
It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent to provide notice and to determine the method of notice that will inform parents.
