Enrolled Families

Under FERPA, a school must annually notify eligible students in attendance of their rights.
The annual notification must include information regarding an eligible student's right to
inspect and review his or her education records, the right to seek to amend the records, the
right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information from the records (except in certain circumstances), and the right to file a complaint with FERPCO regarding an alleged failure by a school to comply with FERPA. It must also inform eligible students of the school's definitions of the terms "school official" and "legitimate educational interest."

The district must also provide notice to parents about the types of student information it releases (name, address, phone number, etc.) and offer them the chance to object in writing to the release of that information.

*The school may provide the notice by any means likely to inform eligible students of their rights.

The Schuylkill Valley School District aims to provide as much notice as possible when a delay, closure, or early dismissal must occur. In making these decisions, we rely on weather radar, local forecasts, and recommendations from our busing company and local township road crews.

The district will send a phone and/or email blast to the contact on file for all students. If you do not receive this notification, contact your school office or email IT Support to verify your contact details. The notice will also be posted to the district website, district social media channels, and WFMZ Storm Center.
