Scoggins Band Newsletter
Week of August 26
Snap! Raise Update
If your child forgot their email and password, please send me an email and on Monday I will have Andy from Snap! Raise reset their profile so you can login.
I have had several families inquire about sending in the $125 opt out payment to the boosters and that is fine, and much appreciated. Please send checks payable to Scoggins Middle School Booster Club. If you would like to pay online I have added the option to pay out via Charms and the Online Store(red shopping cart icon).
Thank you to everyone for your help and support.
