Can a parent check on a students progress or attendance?
No, a parent cannot check on a student’s progress or attendance unless the student has signed a Release of Information Form. There is a federal law called FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which states this type of information cannot be given out unless a student has authorized it, even to the parent of a dependent child.
