Developmental screening:

An appointment will be set up in the spring when a series of tests will be given to your child. The areas screened will be Language Arts and Math. The screening program will not exclude any child from school that is of legal age; however, it will help parents make informed decisions about their child’s school career. It is important to register your child during these dates so that we can plan classes for the fall. Thank you.

DIRECTORY INFORMATION 

The JALSD will make available, upon request, certain information known as directory information. The Board designates as student directory information: 

• a student's name; 

• address; 

• telephone number; 

• date and place of birth; 

• major field of study; 

• participation in officially-recognized activities and sports;

•  height and weight, if a member of an athletic team; 

• dates of attendance; 

• date of graduation; or awards received.

School-assigned e-mail accounts shall not be released as directory information beyond this/these limited purpose(s) and to any person or entity but the specific online educational service provider.

Directory information shall not be provided to any organization for profit-making purposes.

Parents and eligible students may refuse to allow the Board to disclose any or all of such directory information upon written notification to the Board within ten (10) days after receipt of the Superintendent's annual public notice.

Recruiting Officer for any branch of the United States Armed Forces or an Institution of Higher Education 

In accordance with Federal and State law, the Board shall release the names, addresses, District-assigned e-mail addresses (if available), and telephone listings of secondary students to a recruiting officer for any branch of the United States Armed Forces or an institution of higher education who requests such information. A secondary school student or parent of the student may request in writing that the student's name, address, District-assigned e-mail address (if available), and telephone listing not be released without prior consent of the parent(s)/eligible student. The recruiting officer is to sign a form indicating that any information received by the recruiting officer shall be used solely for the purpose of informing students about military service and shall not be released to any person other than individuals within the recruiting services of the Armed Forces. The Superintendent is authorized to charge mailing fees for providing this information to a recruiting officer.

Whenever consent of the parent(s)/eligible student is required for the inspection and/or release of a student's health or education records or for the release of directory information, either parent may provide such consent unless agreed to otherwise in writing by both parents or specifically stated by court order. If the student is under the guardianship of an institution, the Superintendent shall appoint a person who has no conflicting interest to provide such written consent.

The Board may disclose directory information, on former students without student or parental consent, unless the parent or eligible student previously submitted a request that such information not be disclosed without their prior written consent.

The Board shall not permit the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information collected from students for the purpose of marketing or for selling that information (or otherwise providing that information to others for that purpose).
