Activities
5th Grade Band
Students in the fifth grade are eligible to participate in the Band program. Band will begin during the first two weeks of school. Students registering later during the school year may join band providing they were in a Band program at their previous school. Students are allowed to participate in Band as long as they keep up with the expectations set by the directors. All students in the Band program are expected to participate in the Spring Concert at the end of the school year.
Students are expected to remain in the program for the duration of the school year to maximize their full potential. However, there may be circumstances that warrant questioning if it is in the student's best academic interest to remain in Band. The parent and/or teacher should contact the band director. Concerns should be discussed and a plan developed to cause success. The following procedure will be followed if circumstances arise questioning the continued participation in Band:
1. Reduced Band time in order to attend study hall. If the student's situation improves, the plan can be reviewed with the Band time returning to their original schedule
2. Elimination of Band time if the decision is reached and all parties sign off on a Band form to acknowledge the proposed action
