FAQ

The faceobook group, the remind app, and in person classroom reminders to students are the primary form of communication for announcements. If you participate in the facebook group or remind app, you will receive weekly reminders with important information. If you need to contact staff directly, please email to email found on the contact page. Please understand that we will not reply after 9PM, but will answer the next day! 

A form is linked on the forms tab to request than an absence be excused. We do ask for 48 hour advance notice whenever appropriate. There is more information on the attendance policy in the handbook linked also on the forms page of this website. It is imperitive that we are together as an entire unit as much as possible so please try to keep absences to a minimum and only in case of emergency. 

Parents--It is so important that our group travels together and has  time to bond and create memories, just like any other team. The bus trips are part of the event. Please ensure that your child is riding the bus with the band unless there is an emergency or it is absolutely necessary that they ride home with you. It is very important that we maintain the team mentality as we travel and perform together. Thank you to all parents for your understanding!

If there is an emergency, or if it is an absolutely necessity,  please contact Ms. Buell.

Our Band Aide, Jody Bost. You can contact her at bostj@grahamlocalschools.org.

The band does everything together just like any athletic team. Therefore, we ask that parents and family members refrain from coming to the band section to converse with or give money to their child. If the uniform is on, we are performing. Please make sure your child has everything they need before report time for a performance. If there is an emergency, please contact Band Aide - Jody Bost.
