GRADES!  It is very important to stay on top of your grades from the BEGINNING! Turn in your assignments ON TIME and study for tests.  Go to tutorials to get help. We need 100% of our Spartan Regiment to pass ALL of their classes. We prefer afternoon tutorials, but if the teacher only offers morning tutorials students are expected to attend morning rehearsal and then are dismissed at 8:05am to attend the 8:10am tutorial. Teacher must send Mr. Klein & Mr. Smith an email to confirm tutorial attendance.

Supply Checks are pass or fail, so if you are missing 1 item it is a zero.  Students can bring items later for full credit before the end of the six weeks grading period. We do have supplies available for purchase in the band office (please have exact change).


Band Fees - PAST DUE


It's important to stay on track with the band fees.  We purchase a lot of items for the students & pay for marching techs, colorguard techs, percussion techs, & masterclass teachers.  Most of the money is spent in August. If you need a different financial arrangement than the $125 per month please email Mr. Klein.  ALL payments must be made online through CutTime.
