Grissom Choir Stakeholder Letter
Parents/Guardians and Students, please see & read the attached PDF Letter which details important information concerning student participation and fees from myself and our Treasurer, Karen Heller.  The information in this email was emailed out before the break as well.


GHS School Cast Letter
Parents/Guardians, be sure to read the School Cast that Mrs. Greer sent out earlier today.  It is important to follow the information listed here so that students can receive their new laptops, allowing teachers to continue digital learning on Zoom.  For Grissom Choir HVA students, I have given physical packets of music that should already have been picked up in the front office lobby.  This, and the instructions found on the packet, will allow HVA students to learn our music independently until Zoom is accessible for everyone.


Cohort Learning
Please remember that starting tomorrow, we will continue to be on a staggered, Cohort schedule.  For those HVA students that are able, I encourage you to attend your choir class in person on your cohort day.  For those traditional students that are willing and able, you may come to campus for your choir class on both cohort days.


All-State
Congratulations to the following students who were selected to participate in the 2021 All-State Choral Festival!  Please join the Remind using the following link: https://www.remind.com/join/gallstate.  More information concerning the festival itself will be delivered to me in the coming weeks.
