In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), JPEC may, under certain circumstances, publish or share limited identifiable student information with approved educational partners. This information, specifically defined as “directory information”, may include any or all of the following elements:
- Student’s name;
- Participation in officially recognized activities and sports;
- Height and weight, (if a member of an athletic team);
- Date of graduation;
- Awards received;
- Honor roll;
- Scholarships;

Parents or guardians have the right to opt out of allowing for the disclosure of any or all information considered “directory information” (see below) about their student(s). To do so, parents or guardians should complete this Directory Information Opt-Out Form. Following submission, JPEC will verify submitted information against parent or guardian information in our official Student Information System and make appropriate adjustments for all verified requests.
No personally-identifiable student information collected by JPEC or any individual JPEC school, outside the parameters of the defined “directory information” above, shall be published or shared with any third party without the prior written consent of a student’s parent(s) or guardian(s). This includes information such as course grades, assessment scores, attendance or enrollment records, or any other data regularly collected by JPEC for the purpose of ongoing student support and educational advancement.
