26-27 Middle School CLC Permission Form

2026-2027 School Year

CCMS Permission Form

Dear Parent or Guardian,

You are receiving this letter because your student is enrolled in a class at the Gilmer Christian Learning Center (CLC). This class is different in several ways from other classes at Clear Creek Middle School. The most significant differences are:

• The class is not held at Clear Creek Middle School (CCMS), but at the Christian Learning Center (CLC). CLC provides transportation to and from the CLC facility using CLC vehicles and qualified drivers. The CLC facility is located nearby, between the Ag building and Clear Creek Elementary School.

• The subject matter presented in class is from a Biblical perspective. Students will study the Bible and its stories, and the Bible is used as the primary textbook.  Instruction addresses topics relevant to students’ lives such as making wise choices, friendships, respecting authority, and media. Everything is taught from a Christian worldview with the Bible as the standard.  Students will participate in discussions, presentations, group projects, appropriate video clips, and voluntary prayer. A Bible is provided at no cost for use during class and students are welcome to bring a Bible from home.

• Upon completion of class requirements, your student will receive elective credit for the class. CLC does not seek to force beliefs on students. Classes include open discussions about the claims of the Bible, and students are encouraged to think critically and make their own decisions about what they believe. We respect each student’s right to hold their own views and expect all students to extend that same respect to others. 

CLC is a privately funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit and receives no funding from the government or the school system. If you are inclined, we invite you to pray for the students and this ministry and to consider supporting CLC with your tax-deductible contributions.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Colson
Executive Director
