Dear Parents,

Our school requires parental notification for your student to view movies that are used along with our curriculum, or that are selected by our teachers, which are rated PG.

We believe showing your son or daughter full-length movies such as Disney’s MacFarland, USA enables them to benefit from another medium as a resource in their study of Hispanic culture through their Spanish course.
This particular movies covers many aspects of Hispanic culture, a quinceañera being one of many that we have discussed throughout the school year. The film follows the Mexican-American students of a rural Southern California town through their daily lives as they form a cross-country team and run for the championship.
