The Wrightstown Community School District maintains student records for each student attending school in the District.  State and federal law require that the maintenance of such records assure confidentiality.  Accordingly, only those individuals or agencies specifically authorized by state and federal law are granted access to a student's records.  An adult student, or the parent/guardian of a minor student, may inspect, review and obtain copies of student records kept by the school in accordance with Board policy 8330 and established procedure.

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act and Wisconsin State Statute 188.125(1(b) and (2)(j), the Wrightstown School District has declared the following personally identifiable information contained in a student’s education records as “student directory information”:   a student's name, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, height and/or weight, if a member of an athletic team, and date of graduation.

Parents and eligible students may refuse to allow the Board to disclose any or all of such "directory data" upon written notification to the Board within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the District Administrator's annual public notice or enrollment of the student into the District if such enrollment occurs after the annual public notice. Any parent or eligible student who refuses to allow disclosure of directory data and who participates in the extra-curricular activity must complete the appropriate acknowledgement, which includes a limitation on the refusal to disclose directory data obtained during the course of the student’s participation in extra-curricular activities.

The parent of a student or an eligible student has the right to inspect upon request any instrument used in the collection of personal information before the instrument is administered or distributed to a student. Personal information for this section is defined as individually identifiable information including a student or parent's first and last name, a home or other physical address (including street name and the name of the city or town), a telephone number, or a Social Security identification number. In order to review the instrument, the parent or eligible student must submit a written request to the building principal at least fourteen (14) business days before the scheduled date of the activity. The instrument will be provided to the parent or eligible student within fourteen (14) business days of the principal receiving the request.

The district will forward records to other schools that have requested the records and in which the student seeks or intends to enroll, or already enrolled, as long as the disclosure is for purposes related to the student’s enrollment or transfer.
