Greensboro Academy Parents' Bill of Rights FAQ

The North Carolina Parents' Bill of Rights is legislation passed by the North Carolina General Assembly that outlines the basic rights of parents in making educational decisions about their children. It took effect January 1, 2024, and covers rights such as school choice, access to academic information like report cards, state test scores, and teaching and learning materials, and the ability to make decisions about a child's upbringing.

We value our partnership with families and want parents to feel connected to the school and its teachers, with real opportunities to give feedback. There are many ways to be involved: staying in regular contact with your child's teacher, attending parent-teacher conferences, participating in the Voice of the Parent survey twice a year, and volunteering at the school.

Start with your child's teacher, whether your question is about learning and development, instructional materials, or a concern you'd like resolved. Teachers work closely with our school leadership team to address what families need. If more support is needed, our leadership team works with National Heritage Academies, our management company, which has a Parent Relations Department that helps resolve parent concerns.

Submit your request in writing to the principal. Please allow 10 business days for processing. The principal will either provide the requested materials or send an extension notice, in which case the information will be provided no later than 20 business days from the date of your request. Call the school office if you have questions about this process.

Our school board approved language outlining how Greensboro Academy supports parents and their right to be actively involved in their children's education. You can read the full policy in the Parents' Bill of Rights document.
