If you are a 9th grade student who will receive Face-To-Face instruction starting September 21st, have opted in to do marching band, will be attending the freshmen tour and your day is on Tuesday September 15th, you will ALL attend the 4:45 PM – 5:30 PM tour so that you do not miss marching band rehearsal. Please find Mr. Vega (assistant principal) and mention the following: “I am a band member attending this tour time because I have have rehearsal during my scheduled time.” Our principals have approved this exemption. Again, this ONLY applies to the students who meet the criteria mentioned above.
