PARENT CONSENT for SELECTED SENIOR PROJECT

As the parent or guardian of _________________________________________, who is a senior enrolled at Tiverton High School, I am aware that the Senior Project, conducted through my student’s senior English class, is a requirement for graduation from Tiverton High School.

For the research component, my student has decided upon the following topic:  __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For the product related to this research, my student is planning to do the following: _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________

I understand that students are not expected to spend money in order to complete the Senior Project.  However, if my student has selected a senior project that requires a financial commitment, I acknowledge that the estimated amount of $ ___________ is a reasonable expense for which he/she will be responsible. 

I fully understand that the selection of the Senior Project is a decision made independently of the staff and the administration of Tiverton High School.  All consequences of the Senior Project choice, production, or experience--unless otherwise stated--rest solely with me and my student.  _____________________________ has my permission to complete this Senior Project.

I release the school, the school district and its employees from all claims arriving from financial obligation incurred, or damage, injury, or accident suffered while my student participates in the product component that he/she has chosen. I also realize the research and product must present a "learning stretch" --  something that my student has NOT done before.

Finally, both I and my student understand that plagiarism is using another author's words or ideas without giving credit  I am aware that if my student plagiarizes any part of the research paper, he/she will receive a zero on the entire paper and will prohibit him/her from continuing with the other components of the project until an original paper is completed and accepted.
