    Permission to Leave Grounds

    All counselors need parental permission to go off grounds with other counselors with an approved car service or other means of transportation after signing out with Miriam Holland. Please choose an option below to indicate if you have parental permission to leave grounds.
    In an effort to maintain a safe environment, without this signature, each time your daughter requests to leave, she will have to get parental consent.
