PER FERPA: As long as the student is a dependent and as long as he/she is living at home, the parents retain all of their FERPA rights.
Students are expected to be in class at all times. The Washington County School Board strives to make every effort to be in compliance with state laws and to encourage the regular attendance of all Washington County students. The District believes this to be in the best interest of the students and the community. The Board, together with Washington County Schools, is committed to work in harmony with parents/guardian and to assist them with their responsibility to have their children in attendance at school. If a student’s attendance becomes chronic, the student will be granted a change of opportunity to see if they can figure out a way to thrive and attend school more consistently at Millcreek High School. Intervention Stages/Criteria (Tier 1, Tier 11, and Tier 111) were created to do so, for more information ask your students TA or the attendance secretary, Brinlee Morris at 628-2462 Ex 5229.
