Schedule plan for Performing Arts classes
We understand the 2nd semester schedule has created conflict and travel issues for many families and we are equally as frustrated about this situation. As a performing arts team we want as many students who want to take performing arts classes have this opportunity. Please know that we will accommodate in any way we can to make this work for your family. We do not want this to be stressful for students, see below for the schedule of zoom calls/attendance each day. Students should not be arriving to another class late. Please see accommodations below.
In addition, Manning is scheduled to be remote until at least February 1st and with teachers being designated by Governor Polis as 1b for vaccines, we are hopeful that we can be back in the building by 4th quarter this year. This means that conflicts may only be an issue for a month or two.
1st hour - Concert Band and Vocal Resonance
If your student has a first hour performing art elective, we will be taking attendance via zoom during the first 15-20 minutes of class so that students who need to leave home by 8:45am (to get to their 2nd period class at Manning at 9:25am) have ample time to do so. Zoom will start at 8:25am Mon-Thurs. These students will arrive on time for 2nd period.
2nd hour - Symphonic Band and Choir/Images
If your student has a second hour performing art elective, we will be taking attendance via zoom during the first 15-20 minutes of class so that students who need to leave home by 9:45am (to get to their 3rd period class at Manning at 10:25am) have ample time to do so. Zoom will start at 9:25am Mon-Thurs. These students will always have period one remotely (zooming into the classroom like on remote days) and arrive on time for 3rd period.
5th hour - Advanced Orchestra
If your student has a 5th hour performing art elective, we will be taking attendance via zoom during the last 15-20 minutes of class so that students who leave Manning and need time to arrive home will have ample time to do so. Zoom will start at 1:00pm Mon-Thurs.These students should leave Manning after 4th period is over. They will always do 6th period remotely(zooming into the classroom like on remote days) .
6th hour - Concert Orchestra and 6th/7th Musical Theatre
If your student has a 6th hour performing art elective, we will be taking attendance via zoom during the last 15-20 minutes of class so that students who leave Manning and need time to arrive home will have ample time to do so. Zoom will start at 2:25pm Mon-Thurs.These students should leave Manning after 5th period is over.
7th hour - 8th Musical Theatre
If your student has a 7th hour performing art elective, we will be taking attendance via zoom during the last 15-20 minutes of class so that students who leave Manning and need time to arrive home will have ample time to do so. Zoom will start at 3:15pm Mon-Thurs. These students should leave Manning after 6th period is over.
*During the rest of class time, small groups will be created/scheduled so students can get individualized instruction on their at home days. Fridays may be utilized on a case by case basis.

Not able to be in performing arts this semester? Join us here!
We have created a Google Classroom for students who are not able to participate in a Performing Arts class this semester. In this course, we will just post silly things to keep connected to students. If students have questions about music or if they would like to stay part of our community, we would love for them to join us and stay part of the family! The code is - sch5ffm
