Dear Roosevelt Families,

Enclosed in this folder you will find information for the upcoming music year.  There is a list of all the performance dates, a few surveys to fill out and a guide for my music website.  Read through the information sign and return the sheets in the folder by September 12.

The performance schedule:
Each grade has one performance during the year.  The performance is like a final test for what the students have been working on in class and therefore it is very important that every student is able to attend the performances.  Please mark the dates on your calendars so you will be able to attend.  If something unexpected happens and you are not able to attend, please call or send a note with your child when he/she returns to school.  Students in grades 3-6 will have a small make-up assignment to do for their missed performance.

Volunteers:
The families of Roosevelt school have  many talents and are always willing to help with the many activities at the school.  We really appreciate this willingness to help.  There are many opportunities to help in the music area.  If you would like to help please fill out the volunteer survey and return it back to school by September 12th.

Website:
I have a website that includes schedules, letters, calendar, music reviews, games, and other information that lets you know what we are doing in music class.  My website address is lf031.k12.sd.us  You may want to bookmark this site so you can find it quickly.  Any letters that have been sent home will be on the site.  Click on the K-6 Music link to take you to more music information. 
From there you can click on the grade your child is in or from several tabs to the left.  If you have any questions please email me at Lori.Fox@k12.sd.us

Website survey:
Last year I asked that all the families at Roosevelt fill out a survey at the end of the year.  I would again like you to fill out this survey so I can compare it to the end-of-the-year survey and make any changes to my site.  I have included a copy of that survey.  If you have internet access, please fill out the survey on my website lf031.k12.sd.us  I have included a link on my home page for easy access.

Thanks for all your assistance with the music program here at Roosevelt school.

Yours in music,


Mrs. Fox
