Welcome back to week 2 of the new school year! I am receiving many messages about the same topics, so please read through this post carefully. 1.

Hello Students and Parents/Guardians!
I hope you all had a wonderful summer! I know this school year will be different with so many things happening in the world, but I will try to make it a worthwhile experience in orchestra! I know you all have a lot of questions about orchestra this year, and I will try to answer them all in the coming few weeks. When I see the students starting Thursday 8/20, I will only see 2nd, 4th, and 6th Periods. On Friday 8/21, I will see 3rd, 5th, and 7th Periods. The first half of each class will be meeting face to face on video in MICROSOFT TEAMS. When I see the students for the first time, I will go over the syllabus, expectations, instruments, Remind, and other things with the students. I have attached the files above. PLEASE CONSTANTLY CHECK STUDENT EMAILS, REMIND, MICROSOFT TEAMS, and VERGE! Signing up for REMIND will be MANDATORY. Please look to the RIGHT SIDE of this website for the codes. Current 7th and 8th graders will have the same code as last year! INSTRUMENT CHECK-OUT - If you are FINANCIALLY ABLE to RENT and instrument (VIOLINS/VIOLAS), please do so. We have a large 7th and 6th grade class, and there will not be enough to go around. - I have listed rental options in the "Classroom Expectations" PDF, as well as below in a previous post. - CELLOS/BASSES: I cannot let students borrow school instruments. Too much of a liability and will take forever to fix if broken. PLEASE RENT YOUR INSTRUMENT OR SHARE WITH A SIBLING. - We will ease into getting instruments, and I will create a sign-up link for VIOLINS/VIOLAS to pick up on Wednesdays. PLEASE BE PATIENT. |
