=INFORMATION FOR PARENTS=

__EMAIL LIST__ When we hand out letters to go home to you, sometimes those letters don't survive the trip! To help you out, we also email copies of those letters. If you have not received emails from us this year, but would like to be on our email list, please email Mrs. Skoczylas or Mr. Hoffman at deborah.skoczylas@rbe.sk.ca or graham.hoffman@rbe.sk.ca. You can also find digital copies on our handouts page.

__PRACTICING__

Practice outside of school time is not required, however it is recommended. The more you play your instrument, the more you will enjoy it! You can encourage your child to practice by asking them to play for you at home.

__ABSENCES__

Students who forget their instrument on band days are required to phone home as soon as they remember and try to get it to school. They are required to attend band class even if they cannot get their instrument to school.

Students that fail to attend band class while at school will be required to complete a make-up assignment at home. Parents may also be contacted.

__BUS RIDES__

Each week, students ride the bus to Balfour for full band rehearsal. Students are expected to follow the bus driver's rules, be quiet on the bus, and be respectful of the bus, driver, and other students. There is ZERO TOLERANCE for inappropriate bus behavior. Parents will be contacted and students will face disciplinary action if a problem arises.
