New students will be fitted for uniforms, and a $25 discount will be awarded to families that pay the Basic Support Fee in full!

Last week, students received the 2019-2020 Choral Department Handbook, which includes the course syllabi, concerts and events, fundraisers, fee descriptions, and more. At the end of the handbook, there are 4 forms that MUST be filled out in order to be in the Choral Department. Please fill these out and return then by August 15th. A digital copy of the Handbook can be found on our website at www.grissomchoir.com/parents
