Senior Night - Form is DUE TOMORROW
Our Senior Night football game is coming up at the end of the month on Thursday, October 28th. Every year, we display a slide for each senior on the stadium jumbotron with their picture and post-high school plans. We need the following form submitted for each senior so we can put their slides together in time for the game.
All seniors need to submit this form by Monday, October 18th!
As soon as I have details about the evening and family involvement, I will update everyone.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!
Use this link to sign up to help at one (or more) of our events.

Band Grades
Grades for our band courses are partially based on participation at all of our events (rehearsals, games, contests, concerts, etc.) and partially based on playing performance tests.
Our performance grades are evaluated using a mastery learning model. Students have multiple opportunities to perform and improve material until it is mastered. We use a very specific rubric to evaluate student performances. Scores are divided into three ranges and grades are based on those ranges. (Yellow= 60%, White= 80%, Blue= 100%) A copy of the rubric is attached for reference.
