Faxing to Des Moines Public Schools — FAQ
It depends on the office. A signed release may still be faxed even when registration documents go through a portal. Check the instructions first; if fax is accepted, send it cleanly with the right identifiers. The channel that works is whichever one the receiving office actually asks for.
A number copied from a search result may be stale; Des Moines Public Schools has the current one. Ask the Des Moines Public Schools office that owns your request whether it takes fax and its current number. That one verification keeps a child's records out of the wrong queue. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this personal.
These are FERPA education records, not HIPAA-covered health information. Because the school holds them, health forms are FERPA records rather than HIPAA-protected information. So a signed release is what lets the records move, and you should still send them over a secure channel.
No. Documents go to different fax lines at Des Moines Public Schools depending on the school or office. The records office, enrollment, and the special education department each keep their own line, and so does each campus. Ask for the school or office you actually need to get the right number. Which line is right depends on the office, not the district as a whole.
