G.P.H.S. Band Boosters

WELCOME!

From all of us in the Booster organization, we want to say WELCOME to this wonderful ride we call GPHS Band and Color Guard! This program has become an important part of our community. A long and proud tradition has been developed by the hard work and dedication of past students, parents, and directors. The experiences and friendships made in this program will last a lifetime, and not just for the students, but for the families as well.

The best advice we can give, from parent to parent, is to find a way to be involved. Find your "dot" on the team. There is a place for everybody.

COMMUNICATIONS

There are three primary ways you can sign up to get communications.

Parent Square:

Must have a currently enrolled student in District 7

**If you only sign up for one method of communications, this is it.** This is run by District 7 and its employees. NOT the booster board. This is the primary way the Directors will communicate with current families about what is coming up. Schedule, performances, trips, etc. Mrs. Norfleet sends out a weekly Sunday Morning message that includes everything you need to know for that week in Band. It will be the MOST up-to-date information you can get. Sometimes the Boosters will include a Booster Blast.

Band App:

Must have a currently enrolled student in the GPHS Band and Guard Program (or be a directly involved family member ex: grandparent)

This is your secondary method of communication. This is run by the Booster Board. We do not communicate class specific information, but this is where you will find out all the details you need to know on how we support our students. Things like opportunities to get involved. How you can support your student. Parent groups that travel to competitions. Signing up to be a chaperone. Fundraising opportunities and more. This App is made up of ONLY current families in the program. So if we need to send out notices of when to expect your child home from a trip at 2am, this is where we will send it.

Facebook Community Group:

Open to students, families, alumni, and community members supporting the GPHS Band and Guard Program

This is a fun method to get connected. It is a Community Group that is made up of students, families, alumni, and community members and supporters. This is where you will find general blasts about what is happening. Where parents can share photos, videos, and competition updates (such as scores). It is a community group open to the public. So we will not share sensitive information on this platform.

Grants Pass High School requires you to register your student on Family ID. Family ID is a program our district has implemented to use for all sports and most activities.

Family ID is a secure registration platform that provides you with an easy, user-friendly way to register for programs, and helps us to be more administratively efficient and environmentally responsible. When you register through Family ID, the system keeps track of your information in your Family ID profile. You enter your information only once for each family member for multiple uses and multiple programs.

If you already have a Family ID account:

All of your information from the previous registration is saved to your profile. You and your student need to re-read and re-sign the Medical Consent Form and the GPHS and/or OSAA Code of Conduct for every season, including summer activities, with your electronic signature.
