                     Reporting Data Directory Concerns

We have a responsibility to protect our students’ personally identifiable
 information, and we take that responsibility seriously. As parent(s)/guardian

that conflicts with your designated preferences—as documented on the
annual Release of Student Directory Data Information—please notify the
school principal to discuss the circumstances.
