Many parents have to give their children permission to do something within the school system or another type of organization, such as a field trip or an activity of some sort. It is recommended that a letter is written by each parent for their child to participate in such activities, without holding the school liable for anything that may go wrong in the process. Typically the letter is given in
. advance of the activity and not the day that it is going to occur on. Also, it is important to create a clearly written letter and avoid vague pieces of information. After writing the letter it is important to reread the letter and try to decide whether the recipient would have any questions upon reading it. Also, including contact information in the letter is advised, just in case the recipient does need clarification on a part of the letter. In most cases, the organization sends home a uniform permission slip with each child that the parent must fill out and send back to the organization. However, some instances may call for a parent to write their own letter by hand. If a parent is unfamiliar with how to write a letter giving their child permission to attend an event of activity for an organization, there are many example permission letters available online. By viewing example letters through websites, such as www.buzzle.com, a parent can either print off the letter and fill in the proper information required or they can use the example letter as a guide to create an original letter. A permission letter is an important part of each event or activity that an organization hosts. By sending in a permission slip for a child, the parent is allowing their child to experience something fun and exciting that they are sure to remember for years to come.
