Annual Notices

Public schools in Hebron, IN, like all public schools, are required to provide annual notices to parents and students regarding their rights under federal and state laws, including FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), and PPRA (Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment), as well as information on school safety and educational options. 

Here's a breakdown of the key annual notices:

  • FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act): 

    • Schools must annually notify parents and eligible students (those 18 or older, or attending post-secondary institutions) of their rights under FERPA. 
    • This includes the right to inspect and review education records, request corrections, and consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information. 
    • The notice must be provided in a way that is effective for parents with disabilities or who have a primary home language other than English. 
       
  • PPRA (Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment): 

    • Schools must inform parents about their rights regarding student surveys, testing, and physical examinations. 
    • This includes the right to refuse participation in these activities and to review the materials used. 
       
  • School Safety Notices: 

    • Schools must provide annual security reports and annual fire safety reports to parents and students. 
    • These reports should outline safety procedures and emergency protocols. 
       
  • Title I Notice: 

    • If a school receives Title I funds, parents must be informed of the professional qualifications of their child's teachers.
