Part II - Parent Agreement

As a Helix Charter High School Parent I recognize that all parts of the Senior Project are graduation requirements and intend to support my student throughoutthe process. I undertand that the physical project must be a product or performance which takes at least 20 hours outside of class time to complete, and which challenges my son/daughter's current skills and knowledge. I understand that the Project consultant may not be the student's parent.

I fully understand that this project selection decision is made indepedently of the staff and administration of Helix Charter High School. This project selection and approval is parent and student-centered.

Due to the importance of the Senior Project, submittal of a project without approval will result in failure and the forfeit of graduation in June. Thus, if the project is altered or changed or if the consultant is altered or changed, a Project Revision Form must be submitted.
