    Media Release Form
  • PARTICIPATING IN THE THEATRE PROGRAM

    Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and fill out this form.

    **Please note that if you participate in ANY other after-school activity you will need some of these forms so it would be advisable to make a copy of these forms.***

    HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED

    The following forms are online and need to be filled out.  Remember there are THREE separate forms that must be submitted. 

    1. Field Trip/Activities Permission Form

    • Just to be safe and to make sure we are always covered so we require both the PCS form AND the athletic permission slip to be filled out.

    2. High School Activities Participation Form

    • Yes, this is another permission slip, but it covers a few different items. This is necessary in case you get hurt or need medical attention for any reason.
      Keep in mind this is primarily meant for athletics so don't get scared when you read it.
    • If you also play a sport, you've likely filled this out and turned it into your coach.  Please fill this out online for us so we have it for our records.  Thank you.

    3. Media Release

    • We will publicize in any possible way that we can. Often times that means contacting a TV or radio station, a newspaper or putting something online. The media release allows us your permission to use your son or daughter when those times come up

    4. Student Insurance

    • This is NOT included in this packet as it must be completed ONLINE
    • Go to the school insurance page on this site or to pcsb.org/studentaccidentinsurance
    • You can purchase whichever policy you’d like, but the least expensive one is fine.
    • Once it’s purchased, you’ll get an email confirmation. Save that confirmation a PDF or JPEG and upload it on the site.

    Again, without these forms, a student CANNOT stay after school for ANY reason with ANY club or sport
