General News and Announcements

Hello Parents,

We are nearly done with the instrument fittings! We have one more class to complete and a few make-ups for students who were absent or dismissed early.

    Over the next couple of days, I will be giving your child a note with my instrument recommendation (greatly influenced by your child's first choice).

    In order for me to communicate more directly with parents whose children will be participating in band (and to be sure who will not) I'd like to ask you to complete the survey linked below.  It will only take you moments to complete! This is NOT to enroll in band but will provide me with the information I need.

    Here is the SURVEY:  https://goo.gl/forms/ijwzlNO7w5Z3NCTl1

    And another link to my webpage, which I will continue to update:

Please note that I am leaving for Finland next week and will be gone through the first week of July. Once I get back and settled again, I will send out the enrollment and instrument leasing information to those who have said YES or MAYBE on this survey.

from Mrs. Cummings, band teacher
