NEW Chorus Dismissal Time, 3:10 pm Dear Chorus Parents and Caregivers, I’m very excited to work with your students this year. We are going to have a great time making beautiful music together. This year, all ensembles (chorus, band, and orchestra) will rehearse until 3:10 pm, rather than the original 3:00 pm dismissal time. The bus that picks up our students after ensembles will be at Perry Browne at 3:25 pm to take our bus riders home. Mrs. Snitchler will take walkers and Parent Pickup outside and supervise those students until all are picked up. Thank you for being flexible as we work through the beginning of the year. I will stay in touch with you via email if anything changes going forward. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about Chorus or this transportation update. Here’s to a GREAT year! Mrs. Snitchler kclark@norwichcsd.org
