East Amwell School is authorized by law and local Board policy to collect certain records for each child. The school's responsibilities are to insure the safe-keeping of all public records to prevent unauthorized individuals access to records, and to interpret these records to those who are authorized to view them.

The two categories of pupil records collected by East Amwell School are mandated and permitted. Mandated records are those which we must collect according to State Laws and Regulations. Mandated records include: personal identifying data: name, address, date of birth, etc. - records of daily attendance, descriptions of pupil progress, health history and other records mandated by the State Board of Education. Permitted records are those the school is authorized to collect by our local Board of Education. These include: standardized test results, statewide test results, reading book tests, students' interests and accomplishments, copies of correspondence regarding the child, work samples, and the Child Study Team records on non-classified children.

These same laws and regulations guarantee certain parental procedures. Parents may inspect their child's records by making an appointment through the main office. Parents will be provided with a release to sign if records are requested for their child. When a child graduates or permanently leaves the district, parents may request a copy of their child's records. Copies of the law and local Board policy regarding pupil records are available upon request.
