We will do a rolling dismissal. This means that not all grade levels will dismiss at the same time. Please note the time below that your choir will be dismissed. ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF GRADE LEVEL, MUST BE PICKED UP NO LATER THAN 5:30PM. Please make sure your child has a ride after rehearsal!
All choirs rehearse 3:45-4:15
