    Important Documents:

    I have decided to participate in the National Board for Professional Teaching Certification process for Instrumental Music. I will be participating in the process for the next 3 years. This process be examining my teaching practices. I would like to have your permission to video record your child so that my teaching practices can be reviewed in a real life classroom. This video will not be posted on social media in any way. It will only be used for the National Board for Professional Teaching review process. I will be given out the permission slips in my Instrumental Music classes/rehearsals. But I will need you to complete them and return them with your child within 2 weeks of receiving them.

    Thank you so much,
    MeLinda Ford
