  • EXPLANATION OF THE FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

  • The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U. S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are “eligible students”.

    • Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student’s education records maintained by the school.

    • Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents • or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

    • Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

    • Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR §99.31):

    ✓ School officials with legitimate educational interest;

    ✓ Other schools to which a student is transferring; ✓ Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;

    ✓ Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;

    ✓ Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;

    ✓ Accrediting organizations;

    ✓ To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;

    ✓ Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and

    ✓ State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

    • Schools may disclose, without consent, “directory” information, such as a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.

    I hereby give my consent for educational records to be released to The Lawson Academy, a Texas 15th Generation Public Charter School for the express purpose of educating my child.

  • AFFIDAVIT / SAFE SCHOOLS FORM

  • The Safe School section in The Lawson Academy handbook state that the parents, guardian, or other person having control over or charge of a student shall, upon registration, provide a sworn statement or affirmation regarding the student's prior discipline record relative to weapons, alcohol, drugs, the willful infliction or injury to another person or any act of violence committed on school property.

    The Lawson Academy will be requesting your child’s disciplinary records, along with their academic records, from his/her previous school.
    A willful false statement of the above affirmation is a misdemeanor of the third degree and shall be immediately reported to the appropriate authorities.

  • The Lawson Academy partners with the Pathway to Progress School Behavioral Health Program and the Psych On Site professionals who provide on-campus counseling services. This program is designed to foster emotional and educational success via talk therapy services. The clinician's goal is to provide integrated therapeutic services to students whose psychiatric, behavioral and learning programs are identified by a parent or guardian or by school personnel.

    All interactions with Pathway to Progress School Behavioral Health Program Services, including scheduling of or attendance at appointments, content of sessions, progress in sessions, and records are confidential. Exceptions to confidentiality: 1) the licensed professional is a collaborative partner with the school administration and may consult with administrators to provide the best possible care; 2) if there is evidence of clear and imminent danger of harm to self and/or others, a licensed professional is legally required to report this information to the authorities responsible for ensuring safety; 3) Texas state law requires that the licensed professional learns of, or strongly suspects, physical or sexual abuse or neglect of any person under 18 years of age, he/she must report this information; and 4) a court order, issued by a judge, may require the Pathway to Progress School Behavioral Health Program Services staff to release information contained in records and/or require an advocate to testify in a court hearing.

  • TESTING APPROVAL FORM

  • Standardized testing is required in Texas public schools by the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or "STAAR," program set out in Texas Education Code chapter 39 and 19 Texas Administrative Code chapter 101. State law makes it clear that students may not "opt out" of standardized or any other tests.

    The Lawson Academy is a school of choice and every student is eligible to return to their home school if they choose to opt out of the STAAR examination. By enrolling my son/daughter in The Lawson Academy, I hereby give my consent to have my son/daughter participate in the annual State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examination at The Lawson Academy. I understand that if a student is present during the state test administration and chooses not to test, a blank answer document - coded with an "S" for scored - is submitted for scoring as required by the state. This may impact a student's proper progression in grades with the cohort of their peers. Perhaps more importantly, a lack of state assessment scores may impact opportunities for students in their future such as scholarship opportunities, access to accelerated classes, lack of data for teacher recommendations, and lack of consideration for academic awards.

    The student will receive a raw score of zero and the lowest possible scale score for the grade/subject. I understand that if my son/daughter is not in attendance on the dates of the STAAR administration or retest, they will be marked absent. Such designation will impact participation rates on the test. The Lawson Academy strives for 100% participation on the STAAR examination.

  • ACCEPTABLE USE OF COMPUTERS, THE INTERNET, SOCIAL MEDIA AND ELECTRONIC MAIL

  • We are pleased to offer students access to a computer network for electronic mail and access to the Internet. To gain access to e-mail and the Internet, all students must obtain parental permission as verified by the signatures on the form below. Should a parent prefer that a student not have e-mail and Internet access, use of the computers is still possible for more traditional purposes such as word processing.

     

    What are the rules?

    Privacy - Network storage areas may be treated like school lockers. Network administrators may review communications to maintain system integrity and will insure that students are using the system responsibly.

    Storage capacity - Users are expected to remain within allocated disk space and delete e-mail or other material which takes up excessive storage space.

    Illegal copying - Students should never download or install any commercial software, shareware, or freeware onto network drives or disks, unless they have written permission from the Network Administrator. Nor should students copy other people's work or intrude into other people's file.

    Inappropriate materials or language - No profane, abusive or impolite language should be used to communicate nor should materials be accessed which are not in line with the rules of school behavior. A good rule to follow is never view, send, or access materials which you would not want your teachers and parents to see. Should students encounter such material by accident, they should report it their teacher immediately.

    Rules of appropriate use. These are guidelines to follow to prevent the loss of computer privileges at school:

    1.Do not use a computer to harm other people or their work.

    2. Do not damage the computer or the network in any way.

    3. Do not interfere with the operation of the network by installing illegal software, shareware, or freeware.

    4. Do not violate copyright laws.

    5. Do not view, send, or display offensive messages or pictures.

    6. Do not share your password with another person.

    7. Do not waste limited resources such as disk space or printing capacity.

    8. Do not trespass in others' folders, work, or files.

    9. Do not notify an adult immediately, if by accident, you encounter materials which violate the rules of appropriate use.

    10. Do not remove any parts from the computer.

    Be prepared to be held accountable for your actions and for the loss of privileges if the Rules of Appropriate Use are violated.

     

    The Lawson Academy realizes that part of 21st century learning is adapting to the changing methods of communication. The importance of teachers, students and parents engaging, collaborating, learning, and sharing in these digital environments is a part of of 21st century learning. To this aim, The Lawson Academy has developed the following guideline to provide direction for instructional employees, students and the school district community when participating in online social media activities. Whether or not an employee chooses to participate in a blog, wiki, online social network or any other form of online publishing or discussion it is his or her own decision. Free speech protects educators who want to participate in social media, but the laws and courts have ruled that schools can discipline teachers if their speech, including online postings, disrupts school operations. The Lawson Academy social media guidelines encourage employees to participate in online social activities. But it is important to create an atmosphere of trust and individual accountability, keeping in mind that information produced by The Lawson Academy teachers and students is a reflection on the entire district and is subject to the district's Acceptable Use Policy. By accessing, creating or contributing to any blogs, wikis, or other social media for classroom or district use, you agree to abide by these guidelines. Please read them carefully before posting or commenting on any blog or creating any classroom blog, wiki and/or podcast.

    Social Media Guidelines for Students

    Be aware of what you post online. Social media venues including wikis, blogs, photo and video sharing sites are very public. What you contribute leaves a digital footprint for all to see. Do not post anything you wouldn't want friends, enemies, parents, teachers, or a future employer to see.

    Follow the school's code of conduct when writing online. It is acceptable to disagree with someone else's opinions, however, do it in a respectful way. Make sure that criticism is constructive and not hurtful. What is inappropriate in the classroom is inappropriate online. 

    Students should not 'friend' faculty or staff and faculty should also not accept student 'friending'. 

    Be safe online. Never give out personal information, including, but not limited to, last names, phone numbers, addresses, exact birthdates, and pictures. Do not share your password with anyone besides your teachers and parents. 

    Linking to other websites to support your thoughts and ideas is recommended. However, be sure to read the entire article prior to linking to ensure that all information is appropriate for a school setting. 

    Do your own work! Do not use other people's intellectual property without their permission. It is a violation of copyright law to copy and paste other's thoughts. When paraphrasing another's idea(s) be sure to cite your source with the URL. It is good practice to hyperlink to your sources. 

    Be aware that pictures may also be protected under copyright laws. Verify you have permission to use the image or it is under Creative Commons attribution. 

    How you represent yourself online is an extension of yourself. Do not misrepresent yourself by using someone else's identity. 

    Blog and wiki posts should be well written. Follow writing conventions including proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. If you edit someone else's work be sure it is in the spirit of improving the writing. 

    If you run across inappropriate material that makes you feel uncomfortable, or is not respectful, tell your teacher right away. 

    Students who do not abide by these terms and conditions may lose their opportunity to take part in the project and/or access to future use of online tools.

    Parent Social Media Guidelines

    Classroom blogs and other social media are powerful tools that open up communication between students, parents, and teachers. This kind of communication and collaboration can have a huge impact on learning. The Lawson Academy encourages parents to view and participate by adding comments to classroom projects when appropriate. 

    Parents are required to adhere to the following guidelines:

    Parents should expect communication from teachers prior to their child's involvement in any project using online social media applications, i.e., blogs, wikis, podcast, etc. 

    Parents will need to sign a release form for students when teachers set up social media activities for classroom use. 

    Parents will not attempt to destroy or harm any information online. 

    Parents will not use classroom social media sites for any illegal activity, including violation of data privacy laws. 

    Parents are highly encouraged to read and/or participate in social media projects. 

    Parents should not distribute any information that might be deemed personal about other students participating in the social media project. 

    Parents should not upload or include any information that does not also meet the Student Guidelines.

  • FIELD TRIP, EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY & ATHLETIC TRANSPORTATION WAIVER, INDEMNITY

If a student transports himself, herself and/or others to an Activity in violation of the above policy, the driver and any passengers will be ineligible to participate.

    I am the student or the parent or guardian of the student identified above. I understand that on certain occasions Academy Activities may be conducted at a location away from The Lawson Academy campus. I understand that in certain circumstances The Lawson Academy may provide transportation to and/or from such Activities. In requesting that my student be permitted to participate in these Activities, I agree that my student will ride in Academy-provided transportation when the Academy requires my student to do so.

    I further understand that in certain circumstances The Lawson Academy may not provide, or I may choose not to utilize, the Academy’s transportation for such Activities. In requesting that my student be permitted to participate in these Activities, I agree that in those circumstances where the Academy does not provide, of I choose not to utilize, transportation to such Activities, I assume full responsibility for personally transporting, or arranging transportation of, my student to and from such Activities.

    I acknowledge that if I elect to utilize transportation other than the Academy’s transportation to and from an Activity, or if School transportation is not provided, any decision I make to allow my student to drive himself, or to ride in a vehicle driven by any other person, including but not limited to another student or the parent or guardian of another student, is solely an exercise of my discretion as a parent or guardian. I acknowledge that the assessment and decision whether it is safe to allow my student to drive to or from a particular Activity, or to ride with any other person, including but not limited to another student, parent or guardian who is driving, is a family assessment and decision to be made by me or between me and my student. If my student chooses to drive himself or herself or to drive with any other person, including but not limited to another student, parent, or guardian, to or from an Activity without my permission, I assume full responsibility.

    In consideration of the opportunity for my child to participate in School Activities, I agree that my student, or any other person who may be driving my student to or from an Activity, shall not be considered an agent or servant of the Academy, in any respect or for any purpose, while driving to or from such Activity. I further agree that should any claim be made against the Academy based on the conduct of any such person providing transportation to an Activity, including my student, while they are providing such transportation, I will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Lawson Academy, its Principal, coaches, and any employees or volunteers from any liability arising out of or related to such a claim.
