School year 2026–2027

Student records and parent rights

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) provides parents and eligible students rights concerning education records. Rights generally transfer to the student at age 18 or when attending a postsecondary institution.

Review and correction

You may request to inspect education records. The school must provide access within 45 days of receiving a request. Contact the principal through the main office and identify the records you wish to review. You may request amendment of information you believe is inaccurate, misleading, or violates privacy rights. If an amendment is denied, you have the right to a hearing and to place a statement in the record.

Disclosure and school access

Written consent is generally required before disclosing personally identifiable information, subject to FERPA’s permitted exceptions. School officials may receive records without consent when they need the information to perform an assigned educational or administrative responsibility. This includes relevant instructional, support, and office staff; it does not give every employee access to every record.

Contractors performing an institutional service may qualify under the school-official exception only when the applicable conditions are met, including school control over the records’ use and maintenance and restrictions on redisclosure. Admissions inbox permissions are separately assigned to approved office accounts.

Requests and concerns

Contact the principal at (772) 562-1963 or write to Saint Peter’s Academy, 4250 38th Avenue, Vero Beach, FL 32967. The office may verify your identity before arranging access. To challenge an unauthorized disclosure or ask about directory-information policies, contact the office.

You may file a FERPA complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Student Privacy Policy Office. Complaint information and FERPA regulations and guidance are available from the Department.
