The program is open between the hours of 7:00 am - 8:30 am and 3 pm - 6 pm. Attendance and Punctuality School attendance and punctuality is critical for successful learning. If your child is going to be late or absent, please call 403-817-3300, then press 1. This is very helpful to us when we are completing the attendance. We do call parents to follow-up on all unexcused absences each morning and after lunch. Also, please call the school or send a note with your child when they need to leave for an appointment. Students must check in and out through the main office if they are arriving or leaving outside of regular hours. Demographic Updates Please be sure to let our office know if you change your address, phone number or make changes to guardianship information. This will assist us greatly if there is an emergency and we need to contact you or your child’s designated emergency contact quickly. It is critical that this information be updated as soon as changes occur. Lates School begins at 8:21. To avoid attendance errors, it is very important that all students who arrive after this time visit the office to get a late slip. Students who arrive late to school will be expected to contact their teacher to find out what activities and assignments they have missed. News from the Music Room Band Information Night Thanks to all the parents who came out to the band information night. It was great to see all of you. I appreciate your support. The power point is on my D2L site if you would like to check it out. Students will require instruments by Monday, October 1 st . If parents were unable to attend our rental evening, they will need to go to St Johns Music or Long & McQuade to arrange for their child’s instrument rental. Those students renting larger instruments from the school will receive an invoice with the school fees. The following websites indicate where you kind find the locations of the rental stores. http://www.stjohnsmusic.com/calgary/rentals http://www.longmcquade.com/location/Alberta/Calgary_North/ Band Uniform All the band students will be wearing a uniform for our concerts. We have decided to order a nice black golf shirt with a school logo. Please ensure your child has black slacks and if possible, black socks and shoes. A band uniform identifies our school and makes us look professional when perform. 4 | 8
