Music Classes for the 2020-2021 School Year
August 2020
Dear H.A. Families,
Music class will look, sound, and feel a bit different this year. I will be moving from classroom to classroom and attempting to minimize shared materials. For the time being, singing will be extremely limited. In an effort to have an engaging and rewarding music experience for all, whether virtual or in-person, I ask that you provide the following items in a gallon bag clearly labelled with their names for your student to keep at school for music class. In the event your child is or needs to move to virtual, these kits must go home. Please have these kits ready to go for class by September 8th. As we all know, these times are quite fluid, so we will continually monitor research on best practices for music classes. I appreciate your grace, patience, prayers, and support as I navigate these uncharted musical waters with you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wilda
