All school-owned instruments (including those at home) are due back to school no later than Monday, May 15.

Students may bring them to school themselves, or parents may drop them off at the front office anytime during school hours between 8am-4pm.

Also, if your student is a current 6th or 7th grader and would like an instrument to practice over the summer, please email Mr. Pulley here and request an instrument. We do not charge for summer checkouts, and these will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please notify us no later than Monday, May 15 if your student would like a summer instrument.
