In order for any student to participate in an athletic activity, there are certain forms that are required to be submitted before a student is able to participate. Please find the required forms below, and return them to Lindsey Peck the High School office, or email your scanned documents to chris.coffman@grinnell-k12.org.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."
