Trip to Los Angeles
Dear Music Families,
As you are aware Pleasanton USD will have last day of instruction for a while on Monday, March 16, then transition to online format until April 13 or longer.
Hart Music Los Angeles trip has been cancelled. I am sure this is disappointing news as many have worked hard to prepare, but in light of all the developments (Disneyland closed, school dismissal starting Tuesday) travel is impossible. For those signed up for the trip, Boosters will be in contact with details. Please be patient as we work on details in this regard.
Questions? Email Jeannette @ jwoo@pleasantonusd.net or Celeste @ celeste.jaramillo@gmail.com
