Hello Band Parents,

A Special "Thank you" to our wonderful band parents who have worked so hard on our Marching Show Disco Ball.

Helpful information & Current Events: Includes extracts from school "MeMail"

STUDENT PICTURES

Retakes of student pictures have been scheduled for November 6. If your student did not have pictures taken or if the pictures they have received are unacceptable, this is the day. Please remember that students must bring their packets with them to receive a retake. Contact Layla O'Hare for information on packet pricing.

VETERAN'S DAY CEREMONIES PLANNED

The Cocoa Beach High School Army JROTC Battalion will host the annual Veterans’ Day assembly on November 9th in the school gymnasium. The assembly will be attended by over 1,000 students, faculty, and guests. In addition to our honor guard posting the colors, there will be performances by our choral and band groups complemented by a special guest speaker. Veterans from various veteran groups and organizations will be in attendance to be recognized and honored.

FAMILY MEMBERS OF STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF WHO ARE VETERANS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND SO THEY MAY BE RECOGNIZED AS WELL. We would like to honor and recognize as many veterans as possible. Our students always comment that it is a highlight for them to see the veterans, especially if they choose to wear any special apparel. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND ENCOURAGE VETERANS TO COME JOIN US.

The ceremony will start at 2 PM and conclude by 3 PM. Parents, please come to be part of this wonderful recognition of our country's military.

STUDENT CHECK OUT PROCEDURES--A REMINDER

Parents/Guardians may check out their students in the attendance office with proper identification.

DO NOT CALL AHEAD AND ASK TO HAVE STUDENTS WAITING IN THE OFFICE BECAUSE IDENTIFICATION MUST BE MADE BEFORE WE WILL CALL A STUDENT OF OUT CLASS.

Please be aware of our student’s schedule when coming to check him/her out of school. Since our school is under construction, please allow extra time for us to locate your student. Also, please allow extra time if your student is in P.E., Drivers Ed or at lunch. THERE ARE NO CHECK OUTS AFTER 3:00 P.M.

Students may leave without the presence of the parent/guardian if written authorization is provided. A signed note from the parent/guardian must be brought to the attendance office before school. All notes will be verified. If verification cannot be made we will not release the student.

CHECKING OUT BY TELEPHONE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
