WELCOME BUCKEYE PARENTS!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:
THE FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

When students/parents call the MSS office we must verify identity if we need to access the student record. We may ask the following questions:

  1. Student's SSN
  2. Date of birth
  3. High school attended or home address

If we are still not certain we are talking to the student/parent, we may suggest you come in person to the office with a form of identification.

Please see the 'FERPA' link to the right for more information.
