I'm really excited (and truthfully a little nervous) about choir starting tomorrow. I'm sure the students feel the same way. What will choir be like? Who will show up? Who will I sit by? Ok, that one is not me...but I know there are new choir members thinking it.
CHOIR SHIRTS AND FUNDRAISER
I thought things would be settled by now, but I am still working out the final details of the fundraiser and shirts. I should have those to you shortly.
AFTERNOON CHOIR REMINDERS
1. Choir is on EVERY Wednesday afternoon.
2. It is in the music room directly after school until 4:30.
3. I will take all of the kids out to the front lot. The ONLY students that will be allowed to walk home from choir will be the students who have given me a note. Even if a house is right behind the school, I need a note as I do not know who normally walks home.
*** NEW ONE***
4. Students are allowed to bring a small snackand/or drink to have between the bell ringing and 3:40. I know most students eat a snack when they get home so I allow it but once 3:40 hits, they do not get to eat or drink anything other than water. Please do not send anything with common allergens.
MORNING CHOIR REMINDERS
1. Choir is on EVERY Thursday morning.
2. We will test to see if we can fit comfortably in the music room starting at 8:00. In the music world, 8:00 means students have had their drink, gone to the bathroom, picked up their folder and set their things down ready to start at 8:00. Occasionally we all run late, but please try to assist your child in arriving early enough to be ready on time.
3. Students should enter in door 2, the Y doors, the doors by the gym. While the main doors are locked at all times, the other doors are open for students to walk in without buzzing the office.
*** NEW ONE***
4. This is an early start for many students. You may send a small snack and/or drink with your child they can have between the end of choir and the official start of the day. Most classroom teachers would allow it in their room, but students can stay in my room for a short amount of time to eat/drink. They can have water at all times. Please do not send anything with common allergens.
Please send me an email or note for any of the following things:
- Changing choirs
- Walking home after choir
- Any time a child misses choir for any reason
- Your child had a bad day in choir
- You would like to attend a choir practice
I am truly excited for this year. These students are phenomenal musicians and we're going to have a great year! See you soon!
