From Mr. Kroeger: Due to more estimated events than expected causing students to miss lessons (weather, assemblies, myself not being present for extra music rehearsals and events), I have reduced the number of required lessons for this quarter from seven to five. Please check the Parent Portal to make sure your students are up-to-date on this. All missing lessons become a zero at the end of this week and can be made up by the end of next week. I will be updating the grade book at the end of the day.
