By this time, all new parents and students should have signed up for our
listserv.  This will be our primary form of communication throughout the
school year so if you ever get a new e-mail address, please revisist
http://listserv.leon.k12.fl.us/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=lincoln-chorus&A=1&F=l
and subscribe again.

Here are a few quick things you need to know right off the bat....

EXPECTATIONS

I don't have a lot of classroom rules, but I do want you to know what I
expect of our students. Everyday they must have their music folder and a
pencil.  Being unprepared will result in lunch detentions in an attempt to
encourage them to be responsible.  I also expect them to be in the room
prior to the bell and to participate everyday.  Food and drinks are not
allowed in the chorus room with the exception of a water bottle with a
screw on top, all other food and drinks will be thrown out.

UNIFORM

We have a $25 rental fee for our chorus dresses and tuxes.  Please try to
send this in as soon as possible.  No student will be excluded from
performing and kept from getting a uniform because they can not afford it,
all I ask is that you send me a note or e-mail to let me know your
situation.

I'm looking forward to an exciting and productive school year, please let
me know if there is anything I can do to help your studentn throughout the
