Families

Right to Know

As a parent of guardian of a student attending a school that is receiving Federal Title 1 dollars, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the teacher(s) and instructional paraprofessional(s) who instruct your child.

School-Parent Compact

The Marian Anderson Neighborhood Academy welcomes parents as partners in student learning. Parents are encouraged to openly discuss and communicate with the school, the student’s educational, social and emotional needs and concerns. As a result, the staff pledges to use all available resources to meet the student’s needs and increase achievement and tools for a productive life. A School-Parent Compact was created together with families on April 29, 2025.

Directory Information

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures.

Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each child, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by November 7, 2025.

Check out more information, including the optional Opt-Out Forms.
