Movie Excerpt Permission

Dear Parents,

Our school requires parental permission for your student to view movies that are used in our curriculum, or that are selected by the teachers, which have been rated PG-13 or R.

We believe showing your son or daughter excerpts from movies such as Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, and Glory enables then to benefit from another medium as a resource in their study of current events and history.

Movies, along with hands-on activities such as reading, in-class discussion groups, and research projects, give students a well-rounded opportunity to discover the world of history. Movies go beyond dry facts and help bring events “alive.”

Be assured that we will use proper discretion when showing excerpts of movies.

Thank you for taking the time to read and sign this permission form.

Sincerely,

Sample note
We will be showing Glory, which is rated R; however, we are skipping certain scenes which we feel are too intense for our students.
