goals for using excerpt(s) or the entire film.

does not have a coordinator, submit the form to the principal.

the form. Once a film is approved, it may be used for the given course without
approval prior to each use.)
- Send a letter to parents requesting permission for their child to view either
the chosen excerpts or the entire film. (See “Letter to Parents Regarding
