Hi Kim,
We are grades 5 & 6. I have a small YA collection (my higher level 6th graders tend to take these books out more - usually 2nd half of the year). None of the books contain content that is too inappropriate for these age groups. I do let the students know that parents may not want them to take out YA books but that is their choice (parents and students) to decide. I do not have permission slips. Perhaps if a younger student wants to read something more appropriate for 8th graders, you can call home or email to discuss/get permission for that student prior to checking it out to them. Not sure if this would be feasible in terms of time...
Respectfully,
