From Mr. Stowell - Middle School Parent Info
In our efforts to get M.S. students to class on time and prepared, we have implemented a robocall system for tardies. This system will let parents/guardians know when their student is late or misses a class with a recorded message to phone number on file. Our hope is to keep parents in the loop and connected with what is happening at school. Please speak to your student about the importance of being to class on time and with everything they need to be successful. Our goal is to maximize the short time we have in each of our classes.

4th/5th Grade Instrumental Music Program
Instrument Rental Night
On Monday, Sept 25, from 4 to 6:30 p.m.,Ted Brown Music will be at Blaine to help families with instrument rentals. Students will be able to try out the different instruments if they are unsure of their choice, and in most cases they will be able to take an instrument home that night, saving them a trip to the store. Jake is the road rep, and he makes regular drop offs at Blaine if anyone ever needs to order accessories or supplies. Families of students who are ready know which instrument they are playing can expedite the process by visiting the website to sign up for a rental instrument ahead of time and Jake will have it ready for them. To reach Jake directly, contact him at 253-381-2752. To order online, go to http://www.tedbrownmusic.com/t-instrument-rentals.aspx
