General Chorus Information:
January - March for Grades 3, 4 and 5
The chorus is a vocal performance ensemble for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. That's a fancy way to say that it is a singing group that puts on concerts. The chorus performs in our community and in our school. We rehearse weekly on Thursdays from January - March.
Chorus Performance Dress Code: Clean Shoes, Black Slacks (or Black skirts) and the Chorus Shirt.

Dismissal
Students will need to be picked up via carline at the front of the school at 3:20. Parents can also park off site and walk up to get their children at 3:20. That is probably the fastest option, as the car line for Wednesday clubs can get long. Students who have not been picked up by 3:30 will go to ASP. Parents will be responsible for paying ASP anytime their child uses this service.
