ATTENTION: STUDENTS OF THE
WASHINGTON COUNTY PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM
The Washington County Public School System adheres to federal and state laws and regulations regarding student records and the release of student information. Select information may be released upon request under certain conditions: School districts are permitted by federal statute to release “directory information” on all students. Directory information includes a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, 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, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. In addition, federal laws require the Washington County Public School System to provide military recruiters, upon request, with names, addresses and telephone listings of students – unless parents have advised the school system that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent. Parents or guardians who do not want the Washington County Public School System to disclose directory information from their child’s education records, or provide information to military recruiters, must make such requests in writing as soon as possible, but no later than October 1, 2024, or within thirty days of the student’s admission if the student is admitted after the beginning of the school year. This written request should be sent to the following address:
