Academic Eligibility
ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY: Remember that we are governed by the PIAA. If you are failing two or more subjects, you are ineligible to participate in rehearsals or performances for the following week (Sunday morning through Saturday night). A preliminary list on eligibility is released Wednesday mornings. I try my best to reach out to everyone impacted. Please be on top of your grades!
Hydration
Academic Eligibility
Academic Eligibility
HYDRATION: This has been a HUGE issue. Please drink enough fluids during the day to avoid heat related issues during rehearsals and performances. This is critical during the warmer days that we have been experiencing. Drink enough fluids at home, before school and during lunch. If you bring a parent note to the nurse, you may also drink water during the school day. Mr. Payung highly recommends this!

Prospective Roadies need to complete all required clearances and fill out the PA Request for Driver Information form (DL-503).
