The PTA is meant to be a support for teachers as well as an advocate for students and resource for parents. If you would like the PTA to provide resources toward a school initiative, download a copy of the school initiative plan of work. Place the completed plan in the PTA inbox. The board of directors will review the plan and make a decision regarding the request at the next board meeting.
Families of fourth and fifth grade band and
orchestra students, are your young
musicians taking their instruments to
school on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the
classes? Are they bringing them home on those days, as well?
Most of the students are doing a great job of coming to the
lessons with supplies and taking them home. More
importantly, are you hearing the practicing sounds on a
regular basis at your house? Please compliment and
encourage your young ones to persist. It takes about four
months of regular practice to develop the strength to evolve
into a strong musician at their ages.
Remember, the Instrumental classes are a curriculum course
for which the students receive a report card grade. They need
to work as ard as they are expected to work in all of their
classes.
Thanks for your support!
