Dear Parent/Guardian:

As part of The Mentoring Network, your child’s school is offering one-on-one mentoring to students who have leadership and academic potential. Mentors are screened and trained adult volunteers from the community who meet with students for one hour a week during school hours or school-sponsored activities. We are requesting your permission to include your child in the mentoring program, as we believe he/she could benefit from such assistance.

Information provided by you or your child’s school will be kept confidential.
Enclosed you will find several forms. Please read them thoroughly and provide any information that is requested. The following forms need to be completed, signed, and returned to your child’s school within one week:

• Permission to Participate
• Confidentiality Policy
• Authorization for School to Release Information
• Consent to Share Match Information/Agreement to Protect Confidentiality of Match Information

If you have any questions about The Mentoring Network or regarding any of these forms, please do not hesitate to contact Marci Silva at (208) 880-1690. As soon as all of the necessary paperwork is returned, your child’s school counselor will contact me and they will schedule a time with you and your child to meet the mentor and set up their mentoring time. Thank you for your assistance and for allowing us to be a part of your child’s life.

Sincerely,

Marci Silva
