Fourth Grade & Outclass Teachers...
The fourth grade choir students will be having dress rehearsals Monday – Thursday, December 14-17. I have attached a choir roster to this email – it has the choir students listed by homeroom.
Outclass teachers – these students will be missing from your classes each day.
Fourth grade teachers – please send these students to me during outclass all next week (except Friday). Classes scheduled for music on these days will report to Mrs. Berkowitz.
On Friday, 12/18, the choir students will come to school dressed in their costumes (most are wearing typical winter clothing). I would like to have them in the music room by 8:15 am to gather and prepare for the performance at 8:30 am. The choir will have their ‘party’ to celebrate the completion of the performances during their lunch that day (12/18/15). They will report to the music room during their lunch period (11:10-11:25).
Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Hi All-
I was able to get into Lonestar and reset the teachers passwords that told me they could not get into their accounts. Please let me know if you cannot get into your account and I will reset your password too.
