Religious Observances Parent Participation Form

Required

Thank you for volunteering to present to your student’s classroom regarding observances that your family celebrates. While ISI is a secular school, we welcome the opportunity to learn about the different backgrounds and practices of our students. In order to ensure that all parent presentations and/or activities are conducted in an equitable and inclusive manner, the following guidelines should be observed: 

  • All requests should be submitted two weeks prior to the scheduled date in order to allow time for teachers to schedule and prepare ahead of time. 
  • A brief summary of the activity or presentation should be shared ahead of time with the teacher. 
  • Parents should adhere to the total time allotted to them by the teacher and not exceed the time limit. 
  • ISI is a secular school; therefore, presentations should be given with the intent of creating awareness, understanding, and respect among diverse cultural, spiritual, and religious groups in our community. 
  • The goal of the presentation or activity should be to share the practices and rituals that your family participates in as part of your observance.

If you are interested in presenting on your family’s observance at school, please complete the following form:
