Heinz Field -2012 Season
2012 Training
Next season there will be a few changes made to training. The ServSafe Food Safety class will have to be taken annually by every volunteer. Although they have been lenient this past season it will be mandatory in order to volunteer in 2012. They are also adding mandatory Customer Service Training which will be combined with the food safety training to limit the amount of time volunteers have to come to the stadium. Training will begin probably as early as April. In order to accommodate some of the larger volunteer groups, Aramark is willing to schedule training sessions on-site at the High School, provided we can get enough participants. The training session would cover all three mandatory trainings. So that we can get an idea of how many may be interested in taking one or all three trainings, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

MANDATORY PARENT MEETING FOR FLORIDA - JANUARY 24, 2012 - 7PM

- The mandatory parent meeting for parents with students traveling to Florida will be held on Tuesday, January 24 at 7PM in the H.S. Auditorium. The student, as well parent or adult relative over the age of 21 must be present for the meeting. Any student and or parent not at the meeting will not be permitted to travel. If there are any questions, please contact Mr. Barthen ASAP.

 

MEMORIZATION TEST - January 30 - February 3

- Students will be tested on the memorization of our marching band Florida selection, The Thunderer. We will be working on this in class, they should also be working on this at home. Students will have as many times they need, up until February 13 to pass this test. If they do not pass this test, they will be failing my class, hence not permitted to attend Florida. The music is downloaded to my ed-line sites. Please encourage them to practice and memorize this march!

 

 

It is very important to make your Florida payments on time.  These payment dates were chosen based on when the organization must submit payment to the travel company.   The trip is paid for BEFORE we depart.   If your student’s account does not have enough for payment, then the organization does not have the funds to cover it’s payments to the travel company.   Please have your payments in on time.    Thank you for your help.

January parent meeting

Newsflash

On the January calendar that Mr Barthen sent home with the students, it states that the January parent meeting is Tuesday the 10th at 6:30 pm.  This is INCORRECT.

The meeting is actually Monday, January 9th at 7pm in the band room.  Please pass the word.
