** Please note, that students are encouraged to bring a lunch, dinner, and/or snacks with them, depending on the length of time they are away. There will be no access to hot water or a microwave, so please ensure it is a cold bagged lunch. NO Nuts/peanuts please. ** Closed/sealed Water bottles are highly encouraged for our trips!! ** Students must arrive in uniform when meeting for pack-up/departure times, as we do not have space to change once we are at our venues. ** Students are also required to ensure they have packed everything they need for the festival, including music, instrument, extra reeds, mallets, valve oil, tuners, maintenance supplies, etc. We will not have extras with us, as we already need to carry first aid supplies and a full repair kit. ** Please ensure you are practicing to prepare for the festival, and ensure your instrument is in good working condition. Thank you so much for your support while we prepare for the festival. Warmest regards, Mrs. April Waterbury & Ms. Jasmyne Hazelwanter

Please fill out the following survey by Friday, October 12.
https://goo.gl/forms/LvnGeS6PY2KBYHfX2 We need to finalize numbers for our Halifax tour to ensure we have enough seats reserved for our flight. Please answer the survey for us by tomorrow, Friday, October 12. Thank you so much for your help with this. Who: Symphonic Band (Gr.10-12 Band) & Choir (Grade 9 - 12 Choir) Where: Halifax, Nova Scotia Why: Atlantic Music Festival, and to explore our beautiful country and experience the culture of the maritimes When: May 1 - 5 , 2019 How Much: $1700-$1900, mainly depending on flight cost. * We need this survey to be a fairly accurate answer/commitment in participating on our tour, as we need to book a block of seats on the flight and register with the festival. Once we know our numbers, and then official approval from the board, we will send out a request for initial permission and deposits. Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this survey :) Thank you so much. :) Mr. Talen & Mrs. Waterbury Just a quick reminder that the Apple Fundraiser order forms are due tomorrow, October 4. Please find attached the information and the order form. I've also included the information for our on going grocery card fundraiser that is a perfect way for you to start saving fundraising money... since you need to buy groceries and gas anyways... might as well get something back for it! :) All of the parent information from the CHSBPA can be found on this shared folder site: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1YS23K7mtOMUTN4NWVKbHBjd0U ** And any cheques for Fundraisers or CHSBPA fees are to be made out to CHSBPA, not CHS Thanks!! :)
Please see below all of the handouts that were given out during the parent meeting on Sept 26 Some important tasks to complete as a family (thank you in advance): 1.

This is the website/system we use to keep track of student account, fundraising money, etc. Your password is your child's student ID, and then you need to change it to a password you will SHARE with your child 2. Sign up for Remind Messaging (information/instructions are in the blog previous to this) 3. Complete your CHSBPA registration form with your cheque for $40 and hand it into Mrs. Waterbury or Mr. Talen to put in the CHSBPA's safe in the music office. 4. Register/sign up for Google Classroom for your assignments and playing tests. There is a playing test due Oct 3 for Grade 10 - 12 band students, and has already been a playing test for the 9's. 5. Ensure you have received emails from me. If not, you need to update/fix your information in PowerSchool and let me know when you have done so, so I can update it on my end as well. 6. Participate in our awesome fundraisers (Grocery cards, ADmazing coupon books, Apples) 7. For returning students, Try on and/or find your uniform and let us know ASAP if you need something that doesn't fit anymore, or if you've lost something. If you are new, make sure you've been sized for a uniform! Contact us ASAP if you have not been sized. 8. There will be a survey going out about our Halifax tour next week. Please make sure you answer the survey for us by Friday at the latest. Thank you so much for your help! 9. Sync the Google Calendars (CHS Music and English/Band calendar) to your devices/google calendar. These calendars are found on our calendars tab on this website. 10. Please ensure you have submitted an instrument rental form to us by Tuesday at the latest for any percussionists, string bass players, or students renting instruments from the school/district. Student rental charges will be updated/added to your school fees sent out by the school. Percussion and string bass students are charged for the use of the classroom equipment. ** We could use two/three parents to help on our parent board and/or helping with some fundraisers. If you are able to help in any way, please contact the Parent board at: chsbpa1@gmail.com Thank you so much! Mrs. Waterbury & Mr. Talen
