Your senior obtained the relevant documentation and a form that requires signatures from the student and parent. If your senior has not discussed this meeting with you yet, please inquire about it as soon as possible. We would appreciate it if you could sign the forms and have them returned to your student's English teacher at your earliest convenience.
