School-wide Spring Musical The Aristocats May 6 – 7, 2020
Dear families,
We are excited to announce that we will be performing The Aristocats for our upcoming spring school-wide musical! All children will have an opportunity to participate and may be a part of the cast, whole school choir, stage crew, sound and/or make-up. There will be a morning and afternoon performance on both days with the even divisions performing on Wednesday, May 6th and the odd divisions performing on Thursday, May 7th. Each family will receive two tickets for either the morning or afternoon performance.
Students will be attending a meeting on Tuesday, January 21st where they will receive a short script to memorize for auditions. This may include a singing piece if they choose to audition for a part that involves singing. Students may also choose to audition for the Stage Crew and will be asked as to why they choose this role. Auditions will begin Monday, January 27th at 12:10 pm and continue throughout the week. Students who have auditioned will find out the role they will play on Monday, February 1st. More details will follow after next Tuesday’s meeting.
We would also like to invite you to be a part of this exciting experience! We will need assistance with creating props, character make up & costumes, stage building. Please contact me if you wish to be a part of bringing The Aristocats musical to our school community!
INCLEMENT WEATHER PROTOCOL
It is a priority for the Greater Victoria School District to communicate effectively to parents, students and community partners during inclement weather. With snow in our forecast for this upcoming week, the District would like to remind families of its inclement weather protocol and where to find information about the determination of school closures.
The District assesses weather conditions on a daily basis and puts every effort into making a determination by 6:30 a.m. of whether or not schools will remain open. The status of schools and transportation is then provided to local media and communicated to our community.
Inclement Weather Updates are provided through the following:
- School District website (www.sd61.bc.ca)
- Social Media Channels
o Twitter Account: @sd61schools
o Facebook Account: Greater Victoria School District, @sd61schools
- Local Media Outlets
The District is regularly monitoring local weather conditions and Environment Canada’s forecast, and will continue to do so over the weekend. Please stay connected with us for regular updates.
The Greater Victoria Region is broad and we understand that some areas may be more difficult to travel than others. It’s always a parent’s decision if you choose to keep your child home due to road conditions.
