[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the school was always welcoming before. Parents would sit with their kids at breakfast, volunteer in the school day, etc. In the morning, you might have an opportunity to check in with the teacher or nurse if your student had a medical concern. We just got a letter that parents could not enter the building at all except after school. The principal was heavily criticized last year and my guess is that is why the change occured. I am just wondering if it is allowed for the principal to do this at a public school.  Also, if parents felt connected parents to the school if your student attends a school like this. Also, how does it work if you have to share medication or pertinent information with staff.[/quote]

Yes it is allowed for the school to restrict parent movement or require them to have a specific reason for being there. Planned volunteer activity or chaperone a field trip, watch a performance - in. But just popping in and hanging out? You don’t have a right to do that and it can create issues with privacy (eg knowing kids who have disabilities bc younsee then working with a service provider).

If you have medication to drop off, go to the school and explain to the staff why you are there, ha dme your business and leave.
