VIDEOS

I WILL SUPPLEMENT INCSTRUCTION OCCASSIONALLY WITH VIDEOS OR MOVIES. THE DISTRICT POLICY STATES THAT I CANNOT SHOW ANYTHING THAT IS RATED ABOVE “G” WITHOUT PARENT PERMISSION. THIS EXCLUDES MANY VIDEOS AND LIMITS MY CHOICES. I WILL USE MY DISCRETION IN CHOOSING APPROPRIATE VIDEOS OR VIDEO CLIPS WITH A “PG” RATING. TO KEEP ME FROM SENDING HOME A VIDEO PERMISSION EACH TIME I CHOOSE TO WATCH A VIDEO WITH A RATING OTHER THAN “G”, I WOULD LIKE TO OBTAIN YOUR PERIMISSION FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. PLEASE SIGN AND RETURN THIS FORM TO ME INDICATING WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE YOUR PERMISSION TO SHOW PG VIDEOS.
