March 12, 2020 - Minnesota Trip Canceled

Dear music parents and families,

We have just learned that the district has decided to cancel our tour to Minneapolis tomorrow due to concerns about COVID-19.  Unfortunately, they will not be able to offer any refunds or waive fees.

We do not have any additional information to share at this time.  Please direct any questions to district administration.

We are sorry to break the bad news, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as the school continues to navigate this evolving situation.

2. If you checked NO, you are done after the first form and your student cannot take or be given any type of prescription or OTC medication on the trip.  If you checked YES, then you need to fill out the second form as well, completing the appropriate sections and getting any necessary signatures.

We need to have all forms signed and returned by FRIDAY 2/14.  You can sign a paper copy and return it or send it back electronically.
