My name is Daniel Perrine and I am a junior enrolled in the full IB Diploma program at Chief Sealth High School. I run cross country and track for Sealth and am the cross country team captain. In my ITGS class (Information Technology in a Global Society), our project of the year, which is a 5 month long project and will be graded by IB officials, is to create an IT solution for a client. I have chosen my solution to be a wiki for the Chief Sealth Cross Country team. My client is the head coach for the cross country team, Jason Glover who is also a science teacher at Chief Sealth. This letter is to provide you notice that Chief Sealth Cross Country runners may have in a wiki space that will be connected to the Chief Sealth Home Page. Please indicate below if you have any objection to your student having photographs and/or videos of them on the wiki and return this form to Mr. Glover or I. If you do not return this form, it will be presumed that you have no objection, and photographs and/or videos will be included on the wiki of your child. Please note that marking “no” on this form will not prevent news media from photographing and/or interviewing students at public events, such as sporting events, or prevent them from being photographed or interviewed off campus. Additionally, marking “no” on this form will not prohibit students from being interviewed or photographed by “Southwester,” the Chief Sealth High School student newspaper. Please feel free to contact Mr. Glover or I with any questions or concerns and we will try our best to help you.

Concerning individual pages and whether a page should be taken out, he said he would still like individual pages, and that no, the page does not need to be eliminated. If anything, we could switch the the page from being a mile log book to a page of new runs possibly. Or we could just make a new page for that.
