TV TURN OFF TUESDAY PERMISSION SLIP

Dear Parents:

During the Read-a-thon, Roosevelt encourages families to participate in “TV TURN OFF TUESDAY” on January 17th, 24th and 31st. Pledge to TURN OFF the TV and get lost reading a book with your child!

With your permission, your child has a CHANCE of “getting caught reading” by teacher and parent volunteers who will conduct RANDOM surprise visits to students reading at home. These surprise visits take place on our designated Tuesdays of January 17th, 24th and 31st between 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

If you would like to commit to TV TURN OFF TUESDAY and for your child to have a chance to “get caught reading,” please complete the portion below (one form per family) and return it to your child’s teacher by
Friday, January 13th. NO LATE SLIPS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

We’ll reward your read-a-thon reader when they are “Caught Reading” with a bookmark and a bracelet that can be redeemed for a FREE book. To choose their FREE book, students should wear their bracelet or show their bookmark at the Read-a-thon table at Popcorn Friday. They get to keep the bookmark, bracelet AND the book!

Please know we try very hard to accommodate all requests, however, we are limited by the number of volunteers. To guarantee that your child gets caught, please complete the information at the bottom of this page and volunteer to catch amazing Roosevelt “READ-A-THON READERS”!
