Ethics of Confidentiality
MCA seeks to protect the privacy of the family. Often school employees are with the student more hours in the day than the parent. The hours together and the relationships that develop can often cause the student to reveal confidences about himself or herself personally or about home life and lifestyle situations. It is incumbent on employees to respect those confidences and to use them in counseling and guiding the student. Do not share these items with your associates or gossip about them to anyone. Student records and grades are items to be discussed at school only for the purpose of helping the student. Because MCA is in a Christian environment, people will reveal confidences to staff. Respect for these confidences between employee and parent, and employee and employee, must be maintained. One's personal issues should not be discussed in the classrooms or with students.
