FRANKLIN DRAMA CLUB PARENT INFO Jan. 11, 2016
To the Parents of Students involved in the Spring Musical, Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Jr.:
In order for your student to participate in the play we must have your signature for permission (via paper or email) and a contact phone number & email. This will signify that you have read and agree to the rehearsal rules and guidelines on the reverse side of this page. The rules for students: If you break a rule you get one point. Any adult can issue a point. As soon as you have 3 points your parent will be called to discuss the problems. After that if there are continued issues, your case will be referred to the main office and you will not be able to participate in Drama Club.
The contact/volunteer info will help us keep you updated on schedules and needs for the production of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, as well as build a strong parent support group. Thanks so much for your support of excellence in the fine arts at Franklin Middle School. The Fall Play will be great fun and a wonderful learning experience for your student.
