Notice on Lessons (5th-8th students)
It is not Mr. Kroeger’s or the classroom teacher’s responsibility to make sure that a student is showing up to their lessons. I was very lenient last quarter on grades because of the hectic schedule and being sick. For the rest of the school year, students need to: Show up to their lessons and practice 100 minutes to get a perfect grade. Not turning in a practice sheet is like not turning in homework for another class. This will result in a poor grade so please make sure your student understands this. Any questions or concerns, please email at brett.kroeger@k12.sd.us  

Attention 8th-12th Band Parents: There will be a parent meeting Tuesday Nov. 12th at 6 pm in the Sanborn Central Music Room. The meeting will be to discuss the meal for the band concert Nov. 26th and other logistics.
