I, the undersigned Parent/Guardian, give permission for my student enrolled at Mt Laurel Elementary School (MLES) to attend Extended Learning Opportunity ("ELO") Bible education sponsored by School Ministries Alabama ("School Ministries"), with classes held every other Friday, starting September 6th, 2024, from 1:30 to 2:40 pm at Mt. Laurel Library, 111 Olmsted Street, Birmingham, Alabama, 35242. I understand that School Ministries will provide transportation from MLES to Mr. Laurel Library, but I, the undersigned, will be responsible for picking up my student at Mt. Laurel Library at 2:40 pm after class. Students will NOT be returned to MLES after class, and School Ministries will NOT provide transportation to any student's home or any other location after class.
​​
Classes will meet every other Friday according to the following schedule:
Fall 2024 - 9/6, 9/20, 10/4, 10/18, 11/1, 11/15, 12/13
Spring 2025 - 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7, 3/21, 4/4, 4/18, 5/2, 5/16
I understand there may be occasions when photos or video may be taken during this ELO Bible class; I consent for School Ministries and its agents to use and publish, without charge, photos, videos, print material, or other media that may include images and words of or about my child.
​
I understand and agree that:
1. This class is not designed to conflict with required core classes, and that my student is responsible for school class assignments that may be missed during ELO Bible classes.
2. This ELO Bible class will be placed in my child's school class schedule. This means:
a. I may withdraw my permissions for my MLES student to attend future ELO Bible classes with at least 48-hour written notice to School Ministries and MLES and
b. If no such prior notice has been given to withdraw my student from all future ELO Bible classes, and I wish my student to avoid attending a scheduled class, I must sign my child out of MLES before time on that day of the class.
3. School Ministries may withdraw my student from the class, with at least 48-hour written notice to the student's parent/guardian and MLES, if circumstances (e.g., unresolved behavioral issues) require.
I understand that any supporting educational accommodations or interventions provided to my student by Mt Laurel Elementary School or Shelby County Schools are not available or otherwise provided to my student during their attendance at this specific ELO class, including students required to be supported by a school nurse or paraeducator during the school day. Food allergies do not require a School nurse to accompany your child; however, that information is requested below so we are aware and prepared if necessary.
