3.1. Confidentiality

As a volunteer, you may encounter sensitive information and it is vitally important you handle this information in a “in one ear and out the other” fashion. Please keep in mind:

• Statutes, standards, and professional ethics require that all records and information regarding students be kept in the strictest confidence.
• All volunteers at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy must avoid unauthorized and unlawful use of student information or student records.
• Volunteers may NOT access student’s permanent records, have access to student’s grades, or be asked to grade student work or record grades in a teacher’s grade book.
• Any inquiries regarding students by persons outside of CHCA should be referred to a CHCA employee.
• Do not discuss students or teachers (including, but not limited to, names) at social gatherings, regardless of the location where the gathering occurs.

The CHCA EBL Campus Volunteer Service Agreement that you must sign requires you to affirm your understanding of this important policy.
