Permission Slip for the Oct. 7 Performance (Missouri School Board Association conference at Tan-Tar-A Resort in Lake of the Ozarks)

September 20, 2017
Good afternoon, Honors Choir Families –

I hope you’re encouraging your students to look over their Honors Choir music at home these days, as our first performance is coming up quickly!

In order for us to legally transport and supervise your student on Oct.7 to the performance at the Missouri School Board Association conference held at the Tan-Tar-A Resort in Lake of the Ozarks, we need a permission slip. I realize this form is extensive; however, it is our policy to take every precaution and have complete information when chaperoning students.

Many parents have inquired about being a chaperone along with the Honors Choir. At this time, we have several elementary music specialists accompanying us on the trip in addition to the team of directors present at each rehearsal, so we do not require any extra chaperones. Thank you for those of you who offered your time and energy. I will keep you posted about our chaperone needs in the future.

It is vital that you return this permission slip back to me quickly. Students will not be able to participate in this event unless I have a valid permission form. We will request a similar document in the spring when we take the ensemble to Kansas City. The form is pre-populated with the trip information. Please provide the rest of the information in the appropriate fields. Please note that there are multiple places for both parents and students to sign and date.

I encourage you to fill out the form electronically, print it off, and sign it. You may scan a signed copy and send it to me electronically, or you may send it with your student to any rehearsal before Oct. 7. I will also bring hard copies of this form to rehearsals if you would like to take it home next week. Once I’ve received your child’s permission slip, there will be no need for me to remind you to return it!

If your child is planning to not attend the Oct. 7 performance, please let me know ASAP so I can make a note in our records.

As always, thank you tremendously for your help and support of the 5th Grade Honors Choir!

Have a great evening!
