B. Further, unless a court order has been issued to the contrary, the noncustodial parent of a student enrolled in any public or private elementary, middle, or high school or day care center shall be provided the full and complete information concerning the child's school or day care activities, scholastic record, test results, academic achievement and progress, and school behavior in the same manner and form as is provided to the custodial parent by the public or private elementary, middle, or high school or day care center.
