Welcome to Canyons School District, where we are dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and security of our K-12 students’ data. We understand the critical importance of protecting sensitive information, and we have implemented comprehensive measures to ensure a secure online environment for our students, parents, and educators.

Our commitment to student data privacy includes compliance with key regulations such as:

1. FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act): FERPA is a federal law that grants parents the right to control access to their child’s educational records. At Canyons School District, we strictly adhere to FERPA guidelines, ensuring that student records are kept confidential and are accessible only to authorized individuals.
2. Utah State Data Privacy Regulations: In addition to federal regulations, we align with the specific data privacy regulations established by the state of Utah. We work diligently to comply with local laws and standards to provide an extra layer of protection for our students’ information.

Our comprehensive data privacy practices include:

• Secure Data Storage: We utilize state-of-the-art technology to securely store student data, protecting it from unauthorized access or breaches.
• Strict Access Controls: Access to student data is restricted to authorized personnel, and our staff undergoes regular training on data security protocols to maintain the highest level of confidentiality.
• Transparency: We are committed to transparency, keeping our educational community informed about our data privacy policies and practices.
• Continuous Monitoring and Updates: Our systems undergo regular monitoring to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. We stay current with the latest advancements in data security to adapt our protocols accordingly.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. Rest assured that their privacy and security, in accordance with FERPA and Utah state data privacy regulations, are our top priorities.
