Here is the attached information form about the concert and permission slip for our dress rehearsal Thursday morning. This was given to students on VERY bright orange paper and needs to be signed and returned by this Tuesday in order to be put on the list to go. Also, students are required to have all make up work done in order to go since it is a study hall day.
8th grade night info and permission slip
Please sign and return this by Wednesday 10/2. The students have this and on a hot pink form to sign and return. Thanks!
Google form link
Here is the link for the google form. We really need this by Friday 8/23 and it helps us get organized for our year. As of Thursday 8/22 we were still short 29 forms. Students will earn a Wildcat buck if turned in on time. Thanks for your help!
24-25 AMS Band Codes
Please use this for reference for a copy of the band handbook, supply list, and a link to the google form that we need the parents to fill out by Friday 8/23. We are in need of information from parents and about students. We went this direction rather than copying a whole packet of information and collecting paper forms and have gone digital this year. If you need us to make other arrangements for a paper copy, please let me know at [email protected]. Thank you!
