More Notes for Parents/Students

• As I get up and running on Aeries, students and/or their parents will need to communicate absences to my email at pbement@hbuhsd.edu. Students will have the check-in sheet available in the band room every day, and we will be utilizing that to help with taking roll as students are coming and going throughout the day. Students, please check yourself off each day so there aren’t any mistakes!
