Notice of and Consent for School Health-Related and School Counseling Services

Parents have the right to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their child. In accordance with law, the District must provide parents with written notice of each school-based health-related service offered at the campus their child attends and staff services related to school counseling. Parents must be given the opportunity to opt out before some services are provided to their child, and other services require the parent to opt in through signed written consent.  Parents were provided notice of available health-related services during student registration.

Changes to Consent During the School Year

A parent may opt out of health-related services annually, and consent may be modified, revoked, or reinstated at any time with written notice signed by the parent and delivered to the student's campus principal.
