2017-18 School Year

Dear Parents:

At times during the school year, there are occasions when various popular films reinforce and enhance understanding of a concept or theme we are teaching in our academic classes.

When such occasions arise, we like to offer students the opportunity to view these films to incorporate them into our lessons. Because some of the movies are rated PG (Parental Guidance Suggested), parental permission is required before viewing. Below is a list of PG movies that have been reviewed by our media committee for appropriateness of instructional value. The list provides teachers a selection from which to choose a movie appropriate for their curriculum.

This permission slip will be in lieu of sending a separate permission slip each time we choose to view a film. This will prevent students from forgetting to get permission and thereby missing the activity. If there are movies listed that you do not want your child to view, please list the exceptions below.

Please consider the list below:

 A BUG’S LIFE  A CHRISTMAS CAROL  A CHRISTMAS STORY  A CRICKET IN TIMES SQUARE  A CRY IN THE WILD  ADROMEDA STRAIN  AKEELAH & THE BEE  A KID IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT  AMERICA’S HEART & SOUL  ANNE FRANK  ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED  APOLLO 13  A WRINKLE IN TIME  BABE  BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE  BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA  BROTHER BEAR  CHARLEY  CHARLOTTE’S WEB  CITY OF EMBER  CLASH OF THE TITANS  CLUE  COLOR OF FRIENDSHIP  COSMIC VOYAGE  CROSSING BORDERS  DEEP SEA DIVE  DIARY OF A WIMPY KID  DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS  DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODERICK RULES  DOLPHIN TALE  EMPIRE OF THE SUN  FANTASTIC VOYAGE  FINDING NEVERLAND  FIVE HUNDRED NATIONS  FOOD, INC.  FOREIGN LETTERS  FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON (PARTS 1, 7, 8, & 9)  GANDHI  GET A CLUE!  GETTYSBURG  GIFTED HANDS: THE BEN CARSON STORY  GOD GREW TIRED OF US  GONE WITH THE WIND  HIDDEN FIGURES  HIDING PLACE  HOLES  HOMEWARD BOUND I & II  HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (DR.
