Dear Student and Parent or Guardian:

This letter is to inform you that your son or daughter is enrolled in a World Geography, U.S. History, or Spanish course at SVRCS. In these classes we will be reading, evaluating and discussing various world religions and their global impact on the development of the world, the United States, and Spanish-speaking countries. We will be taking an in depth look at many of the religions and cultural traditions practiced around the globe. At no time in these courses will the students be asked to share or discuss their religious beliefs and/or background. It is very important to the study of World Geography, U.S. History, and Spanish to take a comparative look at these religions and their global influence.

This letter is also to inform you and your son or daughter that if at ANY TIME in our discussions, he or she feels uneasy with the material, he or she is free to leave the classroom to complete an alternative assignment without a reflection upon their grade. Also, if at ANY TIME there are issues raised with which you have concern, please contact me at the above information.

I am asking you as a parent or guardian to please review this letter with your son or daughter.

Thank you for your continued support.

Regards, Abigail Schrack, Instructor
