Students began in-school lessons this week. Last week, they received a group letter and a lesson pass for September and October. This lesson pass remains with them until the end of October, and they show it to their teacher before every lesson to get signed. This shows us that they are checking in with their teacher FIRST before coming to their lesson.
Students do receive grades in band, and lesson attendance is part of their overall participation grade. If a student cannot come to a lesson because of a test or because they are failing that class, they will still receive credit for being at their lesson if they get their pass signed, and the teacher checks the appropriate box (test/other). In-school lessons are extremely important, so students should make every effort to be at their lessons each week.
I attached the lesson schedule for the month of September and October, as well as an example of the lesson pass that they received last week. Their lesson will always be on the same day of the week… no matter what. If there is a snow day on Wednesday and their lesson is on Wednesday, then their lesson will simply be cancelled for that week. They will still have lessons on Wednesdays.
If you have any questions about the lesson schedule, please contact me. I’d be happy to answer your questions.
