Watching Movies At School: Clarity on Practices

FOR: ALL TEACHERS
Showing movies during school was a recent topic of discussion among community members and parents. Please review the points below for clarity on the use of movies in school:
-- The movies and clips shown should be tied to the curriculum
-- They must be shown in short segments to illustrate the learning target
-- It is necessary to have the copyright authorization on file. (Netflix, Redbox, and your own DVD does not authorize public viewing.)
-- Clips of R-rated movies are never shown in school.
- - If an R-rated movie aligns with the concepts and ideas being taught, a note can be sent to parents explaining what the movie is about and how it aligns with the learning. This allows the parent to decide if their child should view the film at home.

Please see your building principal if you have any questions.
