AFTERNOON DISMISSAL TIMES |

Conservatory instruction has now concluded for the school year. We hope you have had a wonderful year of arts instruction and creativity!

Office Hours will still be held every Monday through Thursday until 2:35 p.m. Students may choose to attend Office Hours and then leave campus afterwards.
Middle school students will be released at 3 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and at 2:15 p.m. on Thursdays and can then be picked up from the CSArts-SGV campus.

9TH GRADE PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST |
|
CSArts-SGV will be administering the Physical Fitness Test to all 9th grade students this coming Thursday, May 12 and Friday, May 13! Testing will take place during students' Early World classes. If they are not enrolled in Early World, they will be pulled out of an elective class. Students taking the Physical Fitness Test should wear running shoes and comfortable clothes on their testing day, as they will be running or walking the mile and participating in other exercises.
Important note from the Health Office: Any student who cannot participate in the Physical Fitness Test for medical reasons or can only participate in a portion of the test, must submit a note from their parent, doctor, or health office to their teacher on their designated testing day. Please remind your student to bring their inhaler should they need it.
