School District of Prairie Farm

Children of Divorced/Separated Parents

The School District of Prairie Farm shall maintain neutrality between parents who are involved in an action affecting the family, unless otherwise directed by a court order.

It is the responsibility of the parent (s) to notify the District of any such order.

The parent enrolling the student in school shall be considered to be the custodial parent and that parent's residence shall be considered the student's residence for school purposes, unless a court order or other satisfactory documentation is presented which specifies otherwise.

The non-custodial parent of any student enrolled in a school subject to district control may request and be provided all report cards, notices of school activities, disciplinary reports or other student records which are provided to the custodial parent, unless otherwise expressly curtailed or restricted by provision of a court order which has been provided to the building principal. The non-custodial parent may also participate in all school activities, including conferences. The school generally shall conduct only one (1) meeting for parents at appropriate times in which both parents shall be permitted to participate.

A student enrolled in the district may only be released from school to the custodial parent, except under the following circumstances:

1. Written permission has been obtained from the custodial parent; or

2. As otherwise directed by a court order.
