*During blocks students will receive breaks and time for snacks if needed. Lunch will ONLY be provided IF you opted in for the pre-order. Students are NOT allowed to leave campus. Students must bring their own lunch or parents may drop off their lunch. If students desire to have their lunch delivered then they must schedule it to arrive at 12:00 PM or they will not have time to eat lunch.

Students attending the Shield Scholars Program are excused for the morning block. 

Friendly reminder that the first payment is due any time this week (You are more than welcome to pay earlier if you wish). If you are following the multiple payments plan then the amount due is $390. If you are following the early bird payment plan then the amount due is $1,040. Please be advised that the early bird payment plan is only open for this week. There is another early bird payment plan due next month on July 15th for $1,150. If not the total amount for the season is $1,300. If you have any questions regarding fees please get in contact with your GBPA Board. Reminder that this week the marching band registration form is due as well as the Marching Band Member Contract (This MUST be turned in by a parent or guardian).

If you wish to donate snacks, Gatorade, water, etc please bring donations in the morning so that the parent volunteers may set-up "snack carts." 

Lastly, this upcoming rehearsal week we will be finalizing numbers for the marching band, sizing for uniforms, and we will be setting up the school class schedule for the members. That being said, it is imperative that you attend and stay in constant communication with your student leadership staff. Have a blessed day see you tomorrow!
