FAMILY LEGAL PAPERS

If you have legal papers for your child (may include guardianship, custody, parenting plan, restraining order or others) please supply a copy to the school office. We can not honor legal papers without a copy on file.

CHILD CUSTODY:

Anacortes School Board Policy No. 3126: The Anacortes School District presumes that the person who enrolls a student in school is the custodial parent/guardian of the student. The custodial parent/guardian is responsible for decisions regarding the day-to-day care and control of the student. Parents, guardians or de facto parents have the twofold right to receive information contained in the school records concerning their child and to forbid or permit the disclosure of such information to others, subject to the authority granted to the resident parent/guardian.

The district, unless informed otherwise, assumes that there are no restrictions regarding the non-custodial parent's right to be kept informed of the student's school progress and activities. If restrictions are made relative to the above rights, the custodial parent/guardian will be requested to submit a certified copy of the court order, which curtails these rights. If these rights are questioned by the non-custodial parents, the issue will be referred to law enforcement authorities for resolution.

Unless there are court-imposed restriction, the non-custodial parent, upon request, will be given grade reports, notices of major school activities, reports of formal disciplinary actions, or notices of teacher or principal conferences or summaries.

The student if not permitted to visit with or be released to anyone, including the non-custodial parent, during school hours without the approval of the custodial parent/guardian, or an appropriate public authority.
