Parents,
Just in case the information about 8th grade night did not make it home; there are links below for the two pieces of paper you should have seen.
8th Grade Night Permission Form
As always, please email us with any questions.
There are two important things that all 8th graders need to remember this week:
Mr. Brown and I want to say thank you to all our parents and students on helping with the fundraiser this year. Special thanks go out to the parents who came in to help out with collection days.
Delivery day will be during the week of November 14th. We will send information home as soon as we can.
We will be collecting all money for our fundraiser on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Please make sure that your student is brining in one check for the entire order made out to Dickerson Middle School, and that you have collected all the money for your orders. Thank you so much for helping your students sell items for our fundraiser and please let us know if you have any questions.
Dear Parents,
Yesterday we launched our band fundraiser. Your student should have brought home a folder with a letter from Mr. Brown and Mr. Grimes, a prize information sheet, and an order booklet. If you did not receive those things please email one of us. We will be selling until September 21st, and the estimated delivery date is November 14th.
We have asked the students to ask their customers that write checks to make them out to you, and have you write one big check to the school for the entire amount. Money will be due on September 21st when the order sheets are due.
If you are not interested in participating in the fundraiser, but you would still like to help the program, we always except donations.
If you have any questions about the fundraiser please email one of us, and thank you again for your help.
We would like to welcome all our new 6th graders to the Dickerson band program. The students have been given a lot of information, so we want to make sure all our new parents know what is going on.
We have a first lesson night on Monday night (August 15th) at 6pm in the Dickerson Theater. Students will learn how to assemble their instruments and make their first sounds. Parents will have a meeting to talk to Mr. Grimes for a few minutes before joining their students in their instrument groups.
We have asked that all students have their instruments and books in class on Monday.
Below you will find images of both the books they need.
Essential Elements 2000
Alfred’s Essential Music Theory Book 1
We also sent home two pieces of paper to be signed. Links to both forms can be found below.
Parent and Student Acknowledgement 2016-17
Finally we have asked that all parents fill out the google form below.
Thank you all so much for working so hard to get your students what they need, and please email Mr. Brown or Mr. Grimes with any problems.
Dr. Brink has asked that we make this opportunity available to all of our students.
