FERPA - Student Privacy Rights
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.

These rights transfer to the student when they reach the age of 18 or attend a school beyond the high school level.
Your Rights Under FERPA
Parents and eligible students have the right to:
- Inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the request
- Request amendment of records believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of privacy rights
- Consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information, except where FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent
- File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the school to comply with FERPA requirements

Directory information may include: student name, address, telephone number, email, date and place of birth, honors and awards, dates of attendance, grade level, and participation in officially recognized activities.
To opt out of directory information disclosure, please contact the school office in writing within 30 days of the start of the school year.

Section 504 - Disability Accommodations
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
Section 504 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Ridgeview College Preparatory High School does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities.
What is Section 504?
Section 504 ensures that students with disabilities have equal access to an education. A student may qualify for a Section 504 Plan if they have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, including learning.
Students who qualify receive accommodations and modifications to help them access the same educational opportunities as their peers. Examples include:
- Extended time on tests and assignments
- Preferential seating arrangements
- Assistive technology and accessibility tools
- Modifications to classroom materials and assignments
- Health-related accommodations (medication administration, breaks, etc.)
How to Request a Section 504 Evaluation
Parents, guardians, teachers, or other school staff may request a Section 504 evaluation if they believe a student has a disability that requires accommodations. To request an evaluation:
- Submit a written request to the school's Section 504 Coordinator
- The school will review the request and determine if an evaluation is warranted
- If approved, the school will gather relevant information and conduct an evaluation
- A 504 Team meeting will be held to review findings and determine eligibility
- If eligible, a Section 504 Plan will be developed with appropriate accommodations
Student Rights
- Equal access to education and activities
- Appropriate accommodations and services
- Periodic review and reevaluation
