Title IX Reports and Questions

Any person may report conduct that may violate the school’s Title IX policy. You may contact the coordinator even if you are not the person directly affected. A report may be made orally or in writing, and making a report does not necessarily require you to file a formal complaint or take part in a grievance process.

The school will evaluate reports under its policy and applicable procedures. Supportive measures may be available. Retaliation for making a good-faith report or participating in a complaint process is prohibited. The school makes reasonable efforts to protect privacy, but cannot promise absolute confidentiality when sharing information is necessary or required by law.

Section 504 Supports

Students with qualifying disabilities may receive accommodations through a Section 504 Plan to support their access to school. A school-based team determines eligibility by reviewing information from multiple sources, which may include family input, teacher observations, school records, medical documentation, assessment data, and the student’s needs. Families are included in the process.

If you believe your child may need an evaluation or accommodations under Section 504, or if you have questions or concerns about Section 504, please contact:
