UPDATED - Dec 31, 2020

Below is our latest update.  ​We will do our best to keep this site updated with current information

Remote Learning to begin Jan 4-22

Music Students and Parents should have received an email or Google Classroom update on what will be happening once classes start up again in the new year.

What to Expect During Remote Learning
The school day will be modified. Attendance will be taken at the start of each learning block/class by the teacher. There will be both teacher-led instruction (synchronous learning) and teacher-recorded lessons or independent learning (asynchronous learning) using Google Classroom.
  • The daily schedule will be modified for the period of the closure and both cohorts (A and B) will learn together.  
  • Students will have both subjects taught each day in two 112.5 minute blocks of instruction.
​
Below are the Google Classroom/Meet schedules for the gr 11 and 10 music students. Please note that this schedule is what the Music Dept has created and will be following. Other subject teachers may have different schedules and delivery methods for their respective courses.

Gr 11 MUSIC
9:25-10:25 Performance
10:25-11:17 History/Theory
Gr 10 MUSIC
11:30-12:30 Performance
12:30-1:20 History/Theory

Music Clothing Update

CHS Music clothing has arrived!!! ...mostly.

We made the difficult decision to distribute the items that have arrived rather than to wait to have everything in hand.
We hope you understand.

Anything that wasn't delivered today will either be delivered by Friday or in January.
​Some sizes of some colours were on back order from the supplier so we just have to wait until the product arrives.

Thank you for your patience!

Entering and Exiting the school
In order to help prevent crowding, we are asking students to use the side door entrance by the gym (AKA teacher’s parking lot, AKA Door D) to enter and leave the school on the days they have their music classes.
What will performance classes look like in school?
As mandated by the school board, we have been instructed with the following:
​
Strings Classes
  • Strings class will be able to perform on their own or individually assigned instruments.
Vocal and Winds Classes
  • No vocal or instrumental use while at school. Performing vocally or using wind or brass instruments can happen outside provided physical distancing measures are in place. Specifics on how we will overcome these challenges will be explained in class.
Music Ensembles
An email was sent out by our admin team explaining that there will be no ensembles due to a variety of reasons, including:
  • low enrolment in a course
  • no longer having the specialized staff required to run the course
  • not appropriate for virtual learning, which is the required model across the district for all outside of the timetable courses
Laptops in the classroom
The music dept plans on using many cloud based programs this year.
If you have a laptop or chromebook, please bring it to school. If this is not possible, chromebooks will be available in the classroom.


Music, Folders, and Uniforms
If you have any school instruments, music, folders, or uniforms from last year, please bring them to class on your music class day.


Timetables and Presto Passes
Timetables and Presto passes (for eligible students) will be given out in class
