After School Shuttle Bus
On Tuesdays & Thursdays, there is a bus that runs from Nagel & Anderson to Turpin. The bus meets in the Northport Lot at Nagel and at Anderson shortly after school. Mr. Sheridan will be there to help with the Nagel bus loading and Mr. Gaal will oversee the Anderson bus.
Attendance & Grading
The marching band staff is now working hard to have our group fully prepared for their first football game and competition performances quickly approaching in 3 weeks. We have developed a 3 week plan that has each of the remaining practices, broken down with daily tasks & goals.
It will be critical that every student is in attendance at practice for the full team to progress as we hope. This activity is not only educational, but it is also competitive. Like an athletic team, our results are largely based on attendance, effort & performance. We appreciate parent support and planning to help avoid scheduling conflicts.
Every practice & performance is a grade for the course and requirement to earn the P.E. waiver. Those will be reflected in progressbook, similar to daily class work (practice), quizzes (football games) & tests (competitions).
There are only a few excusable absences, such as medical, funerals or other emergencies. Riverbend concerts, work, homework, etc. are not an excusable reason to be absent from this course meetings. We ask that all students & parents plan ahead based on the listed schedule on the calendar below.
When a student is absent from any activity, a 0 will be given as the grade. If a student wishes to request a makeup assignment for the missed activity, they should talk with Mr. Wesche or Mr. Gaal regarding the reason for meeting the excused status and a makeup assignment being given. This policy is similar to what happens if a student is absent from school and needing to makeup a missing math assignment.
Please join us tonight, Tuesday 9/3 at 6:30pm at THS Band Room for the next Booster Meeting
