Band Notes 8–30–2016

Conflicts

There are always a few conflicts with the schedule.

• Religious Education — please schedule your Religious Ed classes for Monday or Tuesday. If you are unable to get those days — please drop your student off at 5:45p, then bring them to Religious Class, returning to Band after the class is done. Many churches will work with your schedule.
• High School Sports — you will always miss Band for a Game, or Match, or Meet etc… However — please plan on splitting the practice time if there is an overlap. Example: Swimming is 4–7p, Band is 6–9p, there’s a one hour overlap. Please leave swimming to be at band for 6:30. You will always miss sports for a Band Competition or Performance.
• Work — sorry — work is not an excused absence!

ALL PERFORMANCES, INCLUDING FOOTBALL GAMES are Mandatory!

Absence Reporting

ANY & ALL absences, including “LATE” arrivals MUST be reported using the following link — http://www.bunnellband.org/Site/Absence_Reporting.html

Shoes & Gloves & Theme Tee

Schoology Class for Students

We have created a “One-Stop” location for Communications, Files, MUSIC, Discussions & Sharing.

We will be using the “Schoology” Platform, which will work as an App for your mobile devices as well as on your Laptop or Desktop.

Those students who do not currently have a Schoology account, Please visit www.schoology.com and create an account (simple and best of all FREE!) just click on “sign up” and register as a student. (On mobile devices, there’s a “three bars” drop down menu where you can locate the “Sign Up form) Or Log-in., if you already have an account.

You will then need an access code — N3KR8-CRPN2

If you ALREADY have an account, skip the registration and go directly to “Join Class” and enter your Access Code — N3KR8-CRPN2

You will be joining a “class”, not a “group”.

Once you are approved, then you may customize your “avatar” to your liking.
