Do some research on FERPA and how it relates to you.

FERPA is a law that protects a student's school records from being shared by the school to people other than the student and parents of the student. Once the student turns 18, parents are no longer able to view their child’s school records unless the student shares their school records with them. Schools are also required to get written permission to share the students personal information. Students and parents are able to change incorrect information as well.
