New school year starts in Juneau

New and returning Juneau students may wish to take advantage of the narrow window of opportunity to submit their request to withhold release of their name, address and phone number to military recruiters. The school district is required to provide military recruiters with the personal contact information of all secondary students unless the student or parent says no. It is also required to inform you and your parents of your right to keep that information from military recruiters or others. You should have received notice about your privacy rights before school opened. Students - even those under age 18 - as well as parents can sign such a request. If you missed that information in your back-to-school packet, you can find the form designed for student signature [#8330F(b)] here. Or the form designed for parent signature [8330F(a)] here.
