Schedules:
Please visit with your child about their rehearsal schedule before you drop them off at school. Anyone who has popped into the office during the school day knows it's very busy with regular school business so we ask that parents don't call the office to ask if their child has rehearsal that day. Schedules will always be posted on facebook for you to reference. I recommend checking with a friend who has a child in the same songs and scene as your child if you are unsure about rehearsal schedules. Students who are scheduled to rehearse will come straight to the music room after school.

6th graders:
Please make every effort to get there as quickly as possible after school.

Attendance:
Anyone who has seen our productions knows it's a higher level than you would expect from elementary aged kids. Attendance at rehearsal is so important. Please make every effort to make sure your child attends their rehearsal. If you know ahead of time about a conflict, please let us know so I can plan. If your child is sick and doesn't attend school that day, please let me know so I am not looking for them. Gracie G., our junior stage manager will be taking attendance daily and making calls to parents of missing cast members to make sure we don't have kids falling through the cracks.

What to Wear:
For choreography rehearsals, clothes they can move in (often their school clothes work fine) and if they already have jazz shoes, wear them. Please make sure their names are on their shoes and then they can bring them and change after school. No sandals, clogs or boots in choreography rehearsals.

Snack:
Students may bring a healthy snack and a water. If you send them with sugary snacks and drinks, I will send them home with a free kitten :)

Behavior Expectations:
I have very high expectations when it comes to behavior. It is a privilege to be a part of this group and I want to teach the cast to be respectful of all the adults volunteering their time as well as other cast members. I usually handle behaviors on my own but if the situation is not resolved I will call the parents and ask the student be picked up. Our cast members are usually highly motivated to give their best and they become great leaders in our school!

Pick Up:
Please make arrangements for your child to be picked up at the end of our rehearsal time in the hallway outside the music room. I try really hard to be respectful of your time and end when our time is up. Sometimes we are finishing a son or scene and it runs over but it is usually pretty close. I do have a list of phone numbers but I ask that all cast members know their parent's number so we can reach you quickly after rehearsal if someone doesn't get picked up.

Thanks so much! It's going to be a GREAT show!!!!!!!
