Faxing to Portsmouth Public Schools — FAQ
FERPA, not HIPAA, is the law that governs a student's file at Portsmouth Public Schools. Because the school holds them, health forms are FERPA records rather than HIPAA-protected information. That is why these requests turn on a signed authorization rather than a HIPAA form.
Not one central number. The records office, enrollment, and the special education department each keep their own line, and so does each campus. Verify the current fax for the central registration office or your target school first. Keep the confirmed number with your file so you are not searching next time.
Include the identifiers staff use to match a file: full name, date of birth, and grade. Add a cover sheet addressed to the central registration office at Portsmouth Public Schools with your callback number. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Portsmouth Public Schools. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
Portsmouth Public Schools can receive a fax at any hour, but the offices that process them keep set schedules. The records and enrollment offices work weekday business hours.
