Confidentiality Policy
All personal information about students is kept confidential. Written permission is received before personal information is given to other pertinent agencies, schools, programs or people. This information is kept locked in file cabinets in the preschool office. Informal testing results are kept in portfolios in the classrooms. Formal testing is done by the Salt Lake City School District and results are given only to parents. Teachers put screening or testing results in the classroom in individual portfolios for the children. They are referred to when designing activities and curriculum. This helps individualize the curriculum to the levels and needs of the children. Portfolio’s of children’s work are sent home with parents at the end of each school year. Records are then stored for several years and then destroyed.
The following individuals have access to these files during the school year:
- Health department
- Special Needs Consultants
- Teachers and Office staff
- Parents
- Teachers
- Courts if asked for in divorce proceedings
