The Iowa City Community School District has adopted a policy designed to assure parents and guardians and students the full implementation, protection and enjoyment of their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). A copy of the school district's policy is available for review at the administrative offices.

This law requires the school district to designate as "directory information" any personally identifiable information taken from a student's educational records prior to making such information available to the public.

The school district has designated the following information as directory information:

• Student’s name
• Photograph
• Major field of study
• Dates of attendance
• Grade level
• Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
• Weight and height of members of athletic teams
• Degrees, honors, and awards received
• The most recent educational agency or institution attended

You have the right to refuse the designation of any or all of the categories of personally identifiable information as directory information with respect to your student provided that you do so during eRegistration.

If you have no objection to the use of student information, you do not need to take any action.
