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
