PG or PG-13 Movie Permission Form
The district Internet use form does not contain a clause about PG or PG-13 movies, which means that permission for viewing movies in your classroom is the responsibility of individual teachers. My recommendation is that, if you ever use portions of movies as a part of your curriculum, you include the following note in your course policies that you send home at the beginning of the school year. It would also be helpful to post it inside Focus as an uploaded checklist item and/or on Canvas. Remember, this note (and copyright law) only gives permission for academically relevant movies.
VIEWING OF PG/ PG-13 MOVIE RELEASE
Often appropriate PG or PG-13 movies or sections of movies can be utilized effectively to enrich classroom instruction and accomplish identified objectives. If you give permission for your child to view such materials, you do not have to do anything. (NOTE: NO sections of “R” rated movies will ever be shown per Volusia County School Board policy.) If you do NOT wish to grant permission for your child to view any PG or PG-13 movies or sections of PG or PG-13 movies identified by the teacher as effective in teaching the curriculum, please contact me via e-mail at _______________________ or send a note in with your student.
Alternately, if you do not include the message with your syllabus, you can send home the following form before you show the movie:
