The Hall County School System is required by law to inform you of the following laws and consequences. The school must keep a signed copy of this form on file for one school year.

I give permission for photographs and exemplary classroom projects to be posted on the school system’s web page, including local school sites, which can be accessed online at http://www.hallco.org.
