SUBJECT:
Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)
DPAA441 Privacy Rights – Students and Family was effective in August 2000. This policy covers privacy rights relevant to eight protected areas.
LEA’s must provide parents and eligible students effective notice of their rights under PPRA. The notice must explain that an LEA is required to obtain prior written consent from parents before students are required to participate in an activity that concerns one or more of the eight protected areas listed on the attached “Protection of Pupil Rights Notification and Consent/Opt Out.”
The attached “Protection of Pupil Rights Notification and Consent/Opt Out” will be included in the elementary, middle and high school registration information and the online registration materials.
Before a student can participate in any activity which involves any of the eight protected areas, the attached consent form must be signed and returned by a student’s parent or guardian. Parents should have at least a two-week window in which to return the consent form. Since parents also have the right to review any related materials, the principal should have the materials ready for review when the consent forms are sent home.
For questions, please call Student Services at 801-567-8251, 801-567-8183.

LAGOON DAY THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 2016
We are looking forward to helping you provide an exciting, successful, and safe experience for your students this year. Following the same procedure as last year, it is okay to load the first bus at your school and let it depart without waiting for the other buses. As each bus is loaded and a chaperone is on board, please let it depart for Lagoon. Your help with this last year helped alleviate some of the waiting on the bus and congestion at the ticket gates.
This year the park will close at 5:00 p.m. The buses will be taking the students home at the same time as last year, which will be 5:00 p.m. For the safety of everyone, please have those persons you have designated as chaperones report to their assigned school bus loading area at 4:45 p.m. The students will load at 5:00 p.m. All buses will be gone by 5:15 p.m. As a reminder, there will be instructions and signs posted on the South side of the roller coaster at Lagoon for the afternoon return to school.
The map and instructions are to be used by your staff traveling to Lagoon and will help keep a safe environment for the students on this special day. Please feel free to make any copies you need of the map and the instructions for your staff to use that day.
