Records are housed at your child's current school. All parents, legal guardians, and students over eighteen, have the legal right to inspect and review any official school records, files and data which constitute a student's cumulative record folder. Anyone wishing to review the records should make this request in writing to the building principal.
After reviewing the records, parents and students of age may request a hearing to 1) challenge the content of records to insure they are not inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of the rights of students and 2) provide an opportunity to correct or delete inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate data contained in the records.
Student records and any material contained therein which is personally identifiable are confidential and may not be released or made available to persons other than the parent or the student without the written consent of the parent or the student. Exceptions to this rule include school employees and officials and certain State and Federal officials who have a legitimate educational need for access to records.

Military Access to Student Information
New Federal Law Increases Military Recruiter Access to Information on Secondary School Students
In January 2002, the President signed into law the "No Child Left Behind Act" which significantly increases a school district's responsibility in releasing student directory information to military recruiters. Effective January 8, 2002, the law requires educational agencies to: "provide on a request made by military recruiters or an institution of higher education, access to secondary school students' names, addresses and telephone listings".
Parents have an opportunity to have their child's directory information withheld from disclosure. The directory information will be withheld if a student's parent(s) have, prior to the request for the directory information, requested that the information not be released without the parent's written consent.
All requests to have student information withheld must be in writing and forwarded to the F.D. Roosevelt Guidance Office by September 1, annually.
If any questions or concerns, please contact Joe Gordon, Director of Guidance, at 229-4025 or joseph.gordon@hydeparkschools.org.
Reporting to Parents
Report cards at Haviland and Roosevelt are issued four times each year at 10 week intervals. In addition to the four scheduled reports, teachers are expected to notify you if your child is failing to complete assigned study, or is showing that he/she is not working up to his/her level of ability.
Formal progress reports are also issued at mid-term intervals; i.e., five weeks after each 10-week term begins. If your child is failing a class, you must receive a progress report; however, many teachers issue them each term for many students.
Elementary reports to parents are issued four times a year, with the first parent-teacher conference scheduled for November/December, and the second conference in April.
You are encouraged to contact teachers any time you have a question about your child's progress. In grades 7-12, guidance counselors also welcome the opportunity to confer with parents. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the dual responsibility of the home and the school in the education of the students. By working closely together, you and the teacher(s) increase the likelihood that your child will reach his/her highest possible level of achievement.
