Privacy
and Security are Important at OPMS
Information Sharing
We will never share your email or personal information with anyone other than those authorized by law to receive such information.
Staff
All staff is screened for drug use and criminal background records are checked before they are hired.
Children's Privacy
While we do publish photographs of children on our webpage, their names are never associated with their photographs.
School Records
Student files are confidential records and are kept secure from unauthorized access. Parents or guardians may have access to their child’s file, but may not be removed from the premises. A copy of the student’s file may be sent to an outside professional, such as a psychologist or educational diagnostician, if requested in writing by the parent or guardian.
You must authorize any release of school records other than to those listed below:
• School officials, including teachers, with a legitimate educational interest as defined in the school procedures
• School officials to which your child intends to transfer
• Certain state and national education agencies, if necessary, for enforcing federal laws
• Anyone to whom a state statute requires the school to report information
• Accrediting and research organizations helping the school, provided they guarantee confidentiality
• Student financial aid officials
• People who have court orders, provided the school makes reasonable efforts to notify the parent or student before releasing the records
• Appropriate people in health and safety emergencies such as doctors, nurses, and fire marshals
• Law enforcement and judicial authorities in certain cases
Campus Security
Campus security is taken seriously. Children are never allowed to leave with anyone not designated to do so. When someone unfamiliar arrives to pick up a child, they are asked to show photo identification and records are cross-checked.
Measures include:
• fences
• sign in
etc.
