Notes to Parents:

Teacher recommendations are no longer required for chorus participation because Mrs. Greggs can now electronically check student progress records on Virtual Counselor.

All chorus parents must complete the Broward County Public Schools’ online volunteer/mentor registration ASAP. This includes anyone wishing to chaperone any in- or out-of-county trips. Returning volunteers must provide a driver’s license & social security number to front office personnel during the first visit to the school to activate their volunteer record. New volunteers cannot volunteer until their application has been approved via the STAR program. Go to www.getinvolvedineducation.com to register. Even if you volunteer at home, your hours can be counted toward our school’s 5-Star award if you register through STAR. See Ms. Lieberman, Guidance Counselor, for a paper copy.

Any parent wishing to chaperone for our field trip to Orlando in May must contact Mrs. Greggs immediately.
