Ms. Meadows
What's Up with Downs
UIL is coming up this week! The students have worked hard & are ready to show their talents!
Meadows' Memos
Remember that physicals are only good for ONE CALENDAR YEAR from the date of exam & must be current for students to participate in ANY marching activities. Email Ms. Meadows or have students ask if there are any questions. UIL has released a new PPE form for the 24-25 School year. When updating physicals & paperwork for the upcoming year, please turn in the new form. It now says 2024 in the upper right corner & is attached! (See below for the link.) It's almost identical, but provides an opt out option for a few specific questions. Thank you!
Please make sure your students have everything they need for Concert Attire & stay smelling fresh & clean by taking those things to the dry-cleaner when necessary!
New Marching Uniforms are in & are being sorted - yay!
