VERY IMPORTANT! Public Forum on Schedule Changes to be held on October 3rd. Band parent Input Needed
The San Juan School District is implementing new graduation requirements, starting with next year’s 9th graders. This change may necessitate a change in Rio’s daily schedule. These changes could have major implications for Rio Band. Rio will be holding a public forum on Wednesday, October 3rd at 6 pm in the Performing Arts Center (PAC). We are asking as many band parents and students as possible to attend this meeting. If you speak or ask questions, please identify yourself as a band parent or student.
