SMS Bands Week 4.4

​Good Morning,
 
Interim Progress Reports have been submitted and will be sent home with students this week.  We will email parents of students that are failing one or more of their classes to make sure they are aware.  Please continue to help monitor your student’s progress on their 4th Six Weeks Objective Sheet, which are due on Tuesday, February 11th.  Grades are updated each week.  Wind Symphony students also need to submit their Listening Assignments each week by Monday on Schoology.  Wind Symphony must also upload their objectives to Schoology.
 
Finances
The SMS Band Booster Club currently has $6,192.25 in past due finances.  Please check Charms to make sure all finances are up to date.  Payment may be made in the Band Office via cash or check made out to Touch of Gold, or online through Charms via credit or debit card.  All fees should be paid at this point except for trips and February Private Lessons (Due February 1st) forward.  Financial Statements have been emailed.
