The choirs are off to a fantastic start for the 19-20 school year. We are making sounds and preparing for our first concert in just a few short weeks.
This past Tuesday was the parent meeting and many of you showed up. Thank you for supporting your student and our choir. Whether you were at the meeting or not, all students should now have the choir handbook, choir year calendar, emergency form, acknowledgement form, and technology form. Please look over those items and return the EMERGENCY FORM (white) & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT/TECHNOLOGY FORM (red) completely filled out. Students will be unable to do anything off campus until the forms are turned in. Forms were due August 30th.
Inside of the handbook you will read information covering numerous topics. Please familiarize yourself, especially with policies regarding attendance and expectations. There is also a choir fee, so read up on that and make sure you pay it!
(STUDENTS WILL NOT RECEIVE A CHOIR SHIRT UNTIL A FORM OF PAYMENT IS MADE TOWARDS THE FEE)
