Dear Parent,             Welcome to the {science} class taught by Mr. K Parr.  Part of my educational philosophy is all students regardless of their cultural background should have access to technology, particularly electronic media.  Technology is here to stay.  Our textbooks, student portfolios and whenever possible, our lab assignments are on computer.  We will be using technology constantly in our science class to keep pace (or exceed) the rest of society.             Keeping pace with society also means your child’s image may appear on computer from time to time (for educational purposes only).  The kids seem to love seeing themselves this way.  Please allow your child’s image to appear on electronic media.  Thank you. ...............................................................................................................................  _________________________ has my permission to appear on electronic media.                          Signed:   ________________________________                         Date:       ________________________________
