Boxes, Boxes, Boxes... and Books!
Hey All!
We are in need of a LOT of cardboard boxes - all sizes! If you have any cardboard boxes at all, can you please start sending them with your students and/or dropping them off to us? The PAC will be open each day after school till when it states on the musical calendar, so you can drop them off till those times by sneaking in the side north door and leave them in the green room. You student can just bring them and set them in there too.
OR you can drop them at the main office and they'll email me when they are delivered. We need as many as we can get (old Amazon ones are GREAT!) by November 1st.
Also, if you have ANY old books you don't want, we would love to use those for our set as well... they WILL be cut and glued, so please know they will not be returned. We would love those by November 1st as well. Those can be dropped off in the same way. :)
THANK YOU!!!

Join Matilda Remind!
Forgot to include this in the last post:
MAKE SURE YOU'VE JOINED OUR REMIND IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!! This is how most information and reminders will be communicated - it is not optional.
If you don't respond as needed, you can miss out on things like show shirts! Take a look at the instructions below and ask me or Nate if you are having trouble registering for our Remind group.
Matilda Calendar and Remind Info
Hi everyone,
Wanted to put the Matilda rehearsal calendar, linked HERE, back at the forefront of your mind now that it's finalized and completed. (This is the same link as before, just included it again to be helpful.)
A few calendar/rehearsal notes:
1. Please look ahead and email me to ask clarifying questions. Don't wait until the day of the rehearsal you have a question about to email me - I might not have time to respond to you.
2. Your conflicts have been added to the Director's calendar and will be considered excused absences. At this point, you may not add additional conflict dates.
3. Beginning Nov. 4 (first day of tech rehearsals) absences are not allowed for any reason. Any other commitments should be put on hold until after Matilda strike as all remaining rehearsals, performances, and strike (11/4 and on) are MANDATORY for all members of the production!
4. If you are going to miss rehearsal because of an illness, your parent/guardian must email me at least 3 hours before rehearsal in order for your absence to be considered excused.
5. Unexcused absence(s) may result in you being removed from specific numbers or the entire production - don't miss!!!
6. If you have an excused absence on a day when you are called for rehearsal, it is YOUR JOB to meet with one of your cast members, Nate, or one of our dance captains to learn what you missed. You will be expected to have learned the material by the next time that number or scene is rehearsed.
7. We will NOT be sending daily messages through Remind about what is happening in rehearsal that day. The expectation is that you're referencing the calendar daily AND looking ahead.
8. My expectation is that you are ready to begin rehearsals at the start time indicated on the calendar. That means that you should plan to arrive to rehearsal 5 minutes early.
Thank you for all the time, effort, and work that you've already put into Matilda - I'm appreciative of you all and very excited to continue working on our production!

Notary on Thursday, 9/19
Hello Shakespeare Parents and Guardians,
I wanted to remind you that ALL payments are due on Monday, September 16th by 2:45pm to the main office. You can also pay the whole amount (or partial if using fundraising to cover some of the cost) on skyward. Another big reminder is that paperwork HAS to be to me by Friday, September 20th by 2:45pm. This includes the Code of Conduct Paper and the Medical Insurance Form. The Code of Conduct must just be signed by both parent AND student. The Medical Insurance Form has to be notarized. Thus, I was able to arranged for a notary to be here on Thursday, September 19th at two times. You can come with the paperwork to sign with them at 4:45pm OR 6:45pm. If those times do not work, please go to your local bank and have them help you there.
I have attached a picture of each form below to print if you lost yours from the meeting.
Thank you and we are excited to get this trip underway! :)
