​Good Evening Grissom Choir,

As I'm sure many of you are aware, this Tuesday, February 11th at 5:30pm, Grissom High School will host a community meeting regarding traditional block scheduling. The goal of the meeting is to describe the process and to gather community input. They will record concerns through their survey. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure that all stakeholders are involved in this very important decision. This WILL NOT be an open mic session. They will discuss a survey to go to and fill out with your concerns and comments. Here is the link for the survey:
