The intention of this blog will be to post weekly and special announcements for each grade level and the band program as a whole.

This week's announcements are:

1.  We ask that all parents please log in to their child's Charms Office Assistant account and update their personal information.  We use the Charms system to send out important updates/notifications about special events or changes in scheduling.  If you are not sure how to log in to your Charms account, please click on the Charms tab to the left for instructions.  If you need your child's student I.D. number, please email Mr. Chance.

2.  We have quite a few students who have still not paid for their notebooks.  Those need to be paid for ASAP!  They are $5.50 each.

3.  Several 7th grade students have not paid for their Essential Elements Book 2.  Wind player's books are $10.00.  Percussion books are $15.00.

4.  Thank you to everyone that picked up their garbage order.  If you have not picked up your order yet, please contact Mr. or Mrs. Chance to arrange for pickup.

5.  Students attending the Wicked trip need to be at DCHS no later than 8:45 a.m. Saturday morning.  We will return to DCHS at approximately 7:30 p.m.  Below is an image of the letter that was passed out (8th grade students have not received this yet due to the days missed because of inclement weather.)
