Annual Notification

State and federal laws require that school districts notify parents/guardians of minor pupils of their parental rights (California Education Code Section 48980.) Parent Notification packets are available for download at the bottom of this page. When used in this notification located below, "parent" means a parent or legal guardian. This law requires that parents sign the notification form and return it to school. The signature acknowledges that parents have been informed of their rights but does not indicate that consent to participate in any program has been given or withheld. Other legislation requires additional notification to parents concerning specific activities or classes during the school year. A separate letter will be sent to parents at least 15 days before these activities or classes, and a student may be excused when the parents file a written statement with the principal requesting that their child not participate. The legislation also grants certain other rights spelled out in this form, which is attached.
