Student Records: Access and Privacy
Students records are protected by federal and state law to ensure the privacy of students and their families. The Hopkinton School Committee policy on Student records reflects both federal and state law (link to left).
If you have questions about student records or student information and access or privacy issues, contact your child's Guidance Counselor.
A school may disclose information regarding a student to appropriate parties in connection with a health or safety emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals. This includes, but is not limited to, disclosures to the local police department and the Department of Social Services under the provisions of M.G.L. c. 71, section 37L and M.G.L. c. 119, section 51A.
