Deviation from Legal Name Consent

Per Rule 6A-1.0955(8)(m), F.A.C., Education Records, school districts are required to develop a form to obtain parental consent to use any deviation or nickname from the child’s legal name in school.

If you would like for your child to be able to use a name aside from their legal given name on any of our campuses, we will ask for you to complete the consent form titled “Parental Authorization for Deviation from Student’s Legal Name Form” which will be found in your Skyward Family Access. Please include all variations that are approved on your form.

Parental Consent-School Sponsored Events, Activities or Supplemental Programs

SCPS has developed a plan to adhere to the requirements set forth by the Florida Department of Education’s Board Rule 6A-10.089, Section (5) which requires parent or guardian notification and permission forms for all school-sponsored events, activities, and supplemental programs.

Over the next few days, weeks, and months, teachers, sponsors, and administrators will be sending notification and permission forms for any school-sponsored events, activities, or supplemental programs your child plans to attend. Please keep your eye out for these forms so that your child is able to participate.
