    instrument case with your name and phone number.

    time. If you will be absent, late, or have to leave early with a legitimate reason, inform your conductor &

    facilities, so please treat them well. Be considerate of each other, treating other people, their property and/or their
    instruments with respect. Let’s all agree to make this a safe environment for the people who enjoy playing music.
  6. Parents, please follow the Traffic Instructions and use the student drop-off/pick-up procedures sent to you,
    so the students walk into the school by the recommended routes, using crosswalks and sidewalks.
