Dear Parents and Guardians,

Hello! I sincerely apologize for any confusion surrounding the Child Safety Matters opt-out form. I want to clarify how it works so we can move forward smoothly together.

Here's what was needed: If you do not want your child to participate, please check the "no" box, sign the form, and return it. If you do want your child to attend, you don't need to do anything—no form is necessary.

I've received many forms back without a box checked, and I completely understand why. Out of habit, many parents instinctively sign permission slips to approve participation. I've done the same thing myself when my child was younger! It's such a natural response.

If you're granting permission for your child to attend, you're all set—thank you!

*If you prefer that your child not participate and aren't certain whether you checked the box, please don't hesitate to reach out to me with a quick message. I'm happy to help clarify.

Thank you for your patience and partnership. I truly appreciate your understanding as we work through this together.

Warm regards,

Terri Runnebohm

We meet from 3:00-5:00pm.

Watch Friday Folders for permission slips.

We will also meet on September 22 and 29.
