Welcome back to school! It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and it is quite exciting to see students and teachers back together again. In music, you’ll see us singing, moving to the beat, performing dances, playing instruments, learning to read music, and most of all having fun! Let’s make it a great year!

Kindergarten through 8th grade music students are expected:

Make choices that help you and others learn .
Use instruments with care.
Speak, sing, and play only when asked.
Immediately follow directions. 
Consider others and be kind.

All students start with an S (grades K-4th) in music. With consistent participation (singing, playing instrument, moving to the beat) and S+ may be given. Disruptive behavior, excessive talking, and not following directions will affect a student's grade. A verbal warning will be given to a student before the grade drops and continued infractions will result in additional drops of a letter grade for the week if continued violations and or disruptions occur. A re-focus form will be given and parents may be contacted to discuss a plan of action to correct behavior.


5th through 8th grade are graded weekly and can lose a letter grade by disruptive behavior, excessive
talking and not following directions and procedures. A verbal warning will be given to the student before grade drops.  Continued infractions will result in additional drops of a letter grade for the week if continued violations and or disruptions occur. A re-focus form will be given and parents may be contacted to discuss a plan of action to correct behavior.
