>4th grade classes meet on Mondays and Tuesdays. Your director will greet you in the cafeteria at 7:00am sharp.

>5th grade classes meet on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Your director will greet you in the cafeteria at 7:00am sharp.   (Your class director will greet you on each class day in the cafeteria and walk you to the class location. Band will be held in the trailer to the right on the field. Strings will be held in the Strings trailer beyond the loading dock of the cafeteria.)

>Returning strings students should not bring instruments on the first day that your class meets. Other students should not have purchased instruments yet. Please wait for directions from your instrumental music teacher regarding instruments and other class materials. 

 

If your child has not signed up for instrumental music, you may still do so. Please download and print the requirements and sign-up form here.
