By my signature, I affirm that I am a teacher of the child with the name and email address that I have provided in this letter. I understand that Scholastic may require additional verification of my identity and relationship to the child, and that I have consent from the child’s parent (either directly or through the school) to act as the parent’s intermediary for these purposes, in order to comply with the requests in this letter. I understand that from the information I have provided in this letter, you have no way of knowing whether this child is participating in another program or activity using another name and email address, or whether this child is participating in online classroom activities using a class-wide username and password. I also understand that if you have separately received consent from the student’s parent for the student to participate in your other online programs or activities, that you may limit your compliance with the requests in this letter to those programs or activities to which I have given consent, unless and until you are directed otherwise by the parent, and that if you have received conflicting instructions from the student’s parent regarding the same program or activity specified above, you reserve the right to comply with the parent’s instructions, not mine.
