An Important Note to Families of Students in Morning Music Classes
Please note that if your child takes before-school music classes or participates in band or strings before school starts that they are not able to purchase breakfast as music instruction goes to the start of academic classes. These students should eat breakfast at home before music. If you anticipate your child will be hungry after music they should bring a light snack or piece of fruit to eat as they head to their academic classes.
