FRUIT SALE
We have kicked-off our fall fundraiser with selling boxes of fruit. Students were distributed information on Friday, October 1st. In the packet, there is a catalog and sales form. On the outside of the packet is how to setup an online store for the individual students where you can invite people by email or social media to order from the fundraiser. Orders are due by Friday, October 15th. We are aware of some issues with the online platform and we are working to get that resolved.
HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME
The annual Homecoming Game is this Friday. Same agenda as before. Ready by 5:30pm, game begins at 7:00pm, students will be done by 9:00pm.
ATTENTION ALL ADULT VOLUNTEERS!
The school district will be requesting that any adult who is around the band students, whether it’s helping out at rehearsal or travelling with the band to shows, will be expected to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. This is a directive from the school district. Information will be coming this week on how to submit a copy of your vaccination card. That is all we know for now.
LINCOLN-WAY INVITATIONAL
Preliminary itinerary is now posted for Lincoln-Way. Here is the information: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KeTS-hD-2Ag-dPxh5uLvc3pOjLmj5xrS?usp=sharing
DOT BOOKS
Students who are marching on the field are required to have their official PNHS Dot Book with them at all times on the marching field. Dot Books are graded. The grade is pass/fail, if students have it incomplete when checked, they are given an opportunity to correct it and turn it in again for full credit. Information on Dot Books is in Google Classroom and also here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/192jN1GFGxnxfnO7T_cy3x3asyWLurTTZ/view?usp=sharing
BOOSTER MEETINGS
Our next parent booster meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 6th, at 7pm.

The meeting will be online through Google Meets and the meeting invitation will be shared through email on the day of.
ATTENDANCE
Expectations are now set to students needing to be in attendance to participate. A student’s grade for band can be affected by the attendance policy. If for any reason a student needs to miss a rehearsal/practice, PARENTS need to complete this online form: http://www.pnhsbands.com/absence-request-form/
GROUP CHAT/TEXT AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Students use many platforms for group chatting, especially within sections. It is great that students socialize and help each other out with information. However, conversations and posts are liable for consequences from the school deans. Keep it appropriate! Parents and students, please report any misuse of these platforms.
