The Moss Point School District recognizes the value of providing information, whenever it is possible and legal, to non-custodial parents regarding school progress and activities pertaining to their child.  The school district also recognizes that many separated/divorced parents continue to share care-giving and custody and that each parent, under legal and practical circumstances, should have access to information regarding the child's academic progress and school activities.

Non-custodial parents and parents with shared custody not normally receiving information on their child from the school may request this service on an annual basis.  Upon written request to their child's school principal, the school will subsequently and routinely mail to the non-custodial parent a copy of all school information that is normally sent home with the child to the custodial parent or legal guardian.  This information will be provided for the remainder of the school year in which the request has been made.

In some situations, by court order, non-custodial parents are not entitled to access to school information regarding their child.  Challenges to a parent's access to information will be referred to the superintendent or designee.  Any information regarding the student will be withheld from a parent pending resolution of the superintendent's (or designee's) investigation.  The principal will advise anyone challenging a parent's right to information that this right can be frustrated only by court action.  Those launching challenges are advised to provide documentation regarding court orders providing or prohibiting access to information.
