Important!
Attention families: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow schools to include information from your child’s education records in certain school publications.
Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each of their students, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by November 6, 2023.
Find more information, including the forms you need HERE.

After-School Playground Use
Students are more than welcome to utilize the playground as long as they are supervised by an adult. If they are not, they must leave school grounds at dismissal as there are no staff and aftercare here at McCall. This is to ensure the safety of all students.
