2017-2018 Student Handbook

August 9, 2017

Dear Parents: In January 2002, President Bush signed into law the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001”. This law requires high schools to provide military recruiters, post-secondary institutions and prospective employers access to directory information on secondary school students. The information released will include name, address, and telephone number. As parents, you have the right to opt out of the public, nonconsensual disclosure of directory information. Should you choose to exercise this right and request that we do not release the above information, you must contact the CCHS Student Services Office or complete and return the opt out form at the bottom of this letter as soon as possible. No response will result in the release of your son/daughter’s demographic information as requested. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Sincerely,

Mr. Charles T. Thompson Principal

It is my request that you DO NOT release my directory information to outside agencies. Student Name:_______________________________________ Parent Signature:_____________________________________ Date:______________
