Movie Guidelines/Procedures

Taken from the West ISD Grading and Reporting Handbook...

 

Any movies that were initially made for commercial use rather than for primarily educational
purposes must be approved in advance of viewing by the school principal or his/her
administrative designee. If the movie contains a rating in which parental guidance is required or
recommended, it cannot be viewed by the students during the school day or on campus, with
the following exceptions.

Viewing Guide:

 

Elementary School                           Middle School                                          High School

Only G Rated                                  Only G or PG Rated                                 Only G or PG Rated

 

ALL: No Streaming Services; NO sexually explicit scenes, violence, or profanity

Movies should NOT be shown in entirety but rather clips that reinforce instruction. Viewing of
entire video/multimedia must be approved by the administrator, connected to the content
standards, and taken from an electronic media platform (i.e., Discovery Ed) purchased by
the district. Exceptions MUST be submitted on the Video/Multimedia Approval form and
approved by the campus principal prior to showing the video/multimedia.
