As advocates of both students and families in our community, we are dedicated to respecting the privacy of all members of DCP - students, their families, and staff as well. When supporting in the classroom, you may notice, make observations, have thoughts, opinions, or questions about behaviors you observe from children. Out of respect for the children in our care and their families, please refrain from asking classroom teachers and staff to engage in private or sensitive conversations regarding children other than your own. If you have questions or concerns of a sensitive nature that need to be addressed, please feel free to speak with the Director or Assistant Director in the office. It is not appropriate to gossip about a child, ever.
Through committee work for the school, parents may have access to a substantial amount of confidential or personal information regarding donors or prospective donors to the school. We ask that parents refrain from using any confidential or personal information regarding any donor or potential donor to the school other than for the purpose of fundraising for the school. Transferring, sharing, or in any way divulging (directly or indirectly) any such information under any circumstances or by any means to any third party other than other members of the committee specifically involved with soliciting the donor or potential donor in question will not be tolerated.
Employees, volunteers, and board members of DCP may be exposed to information which is confidential and/or privileged and proprietary in nature. It is the policy of DCP that such information must be kept confidential both during and after employment or volunteer service. Staff and volunteers, including board members, are expected to return materials containing sensitive, privileged or confidential information at the time of separation from employment or completion of volunteer service.
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or privileged information is a serious violation of this policy and will subject the person(s) who made the unauthorized disclosure to appropriate action, including removal/dismissal.
