If the teacher is working under emergency or other provisional status under which state qualification and licensing criteria have been waived. The teacher’s college major and subsequent advanced degrees. Qualifications of any teaching assistants providing services to your child. If an uncertified teacher will be working in a classroom for four or more weeks. Requests for the above information may be directed to Lonnie Palmer, School Superintendent, BKW Central School District, 1738 Helderberg Trail, Berne, NY 12023. S C H O O L Release of information to military recruiters NCLB requires that school districts disclose to military recruiters and institutions of higher learning, upon request, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of our high school students. However, parents or students may request, in writing, that the district NOT release such information. Parents, or students who are at least 18 years old, may exercise the option to withhold their consent to release this information by contacting the high school principal’s office. 2015-2016 CALENDAR BERNE-KNOX-WESTERLO D I S T R I C T Student Privacy The district’s privacy policy offers parents the opportunity to excuse their child from any survey that reveals information on personal behavior or political beliefs. Parents are also notified and offered the chance to exclude their child from activities that gather personal information about students which can be used for marketing purposes. Special needs Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), parents and students over 18 years of age have the right to inspect and review the student‘s records or request an amendment of records believed to be incorrect. They can also withhold consent on disclosure of personally identifiable information, except in cases where the law allows for disclosure without consent. Children with special needs may be entitled to additional services from the school district in which they reside. If your child has special needs and is not known to the school administration, please call the District Office. New York State Education Law also requires that each public school district account for the education of all resident minors. Please help BKW comply with this requirement. If your child is homeschooled or attends a private or parochial school and has not previously been registered with the District Office, please call 872-1293. Student Directory information Asbestos Management Plan Access to student records The district releases certain types of student information (name, address, phone number, photo, etc.). Under FERPA, parents may request in writing to not release that information. In accordance with federal law, the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District has in place a management plan to identify and manage asbestos building materials. The Asbestos Management Plan is on file and available for review in the District Office during regular business hours. Pesticide notification It is mandatory for school districts to inform parents or guardians and staff members of potential pesticide use during the school year. To be placed on a list to receive 48-hour notification prior to the application of pesticides, please call the District Office. Student Health Data Because New York State is interested in child health data, schools are required to record students’ height, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI). If our district is surveyed by the state, we will only share group data (for instance, the number of second grade boys whose BMI is below the fifth percentile), not individual data. However, if parents wish their child’s data to be excluded from such group calculations, they may do so by contacting their school nurse. APPR Ratings All parents/guardians will have the right to obtain APPR ratings and composite effectiveness scores for their child’s teacher(s) and principal(s) once the scores are available in accordance with state law. For additional details, please visit the district website or contact your child’s school. 1738 Helderberg Trail Berne, NY 12023 District Office FAX: 872-0341 Secondary School FAX: 872-2083 Elementary FAX: 872-2031 September 2015 PLEASE NOTE: While the district will honor the request of any parents who have submitted written notification opting their child out of publicity efforts, the district is not responsible for media that covers news happenings, sporting events or school events.
