As the year progresses, check this page for updates and links to important information. I should have a schedule posted by the end of the first week of school.

MUSIC
Attention Instrumental Music Students!!!

Instruments that are brought to school after 8:00 a.m. will not be delivered to students. 

Mr. & Mrs. Kroesen have relayed this information to all of their students.  In an effort to help students embrace responsibility, which is part of our RIR philosophy, we encourage them to plan ahead and have their instruments placed near their backpacks on Monday and Wednesday mornings. 

Thank you, parents, for your understanding and support.
