It is the goal of the district to provide a safe and supportive educational environment in which all students may learn. To maintain compliance with Iowa law and also provide efficiency in the reporting requirements, the Superintendent will provide the opportunity for parents and guardians to list in the student’s registration paperwork any and all nicknames used for students using the Request to Update Student Identity form (506.05E1).
If a student makes a request to a licensed employee to accommodate a name, pronoun, or gender identity that is different than what was assigned to the student in the student’s registration forms or records, the licensed employee is required by Iowa law to report the request to an administrator. The school administrator receiving the report is required by Iowa law to report the request to the student’s parent/guardian using the Report of Student Disclosure of Identity form (506.05E2). This requirement also applies to all nicknames.
