Parent Resources

Data is a powerful tool to inform, engage, and create opportunities for students along their education journey, and it‘s much more than test scores. Data helps educators gain proper insights and make the right decisions that lead to student achievement.

The Ogden School District, the Utah State Board of Education, and the Utah State Legislature value the protection of student data during all stages of the data's use.

In the Ogden School District we strive to communicate with the community about all aspects of student data and it's protection while in our possession. This page outlines the policies we have in place, the federal and state legislation in Utah, and online resources for parents and students aimed at protecting student data.
