Online Band Assignment Check-List
We are now in our third week of online learning here with the Wildcat Band. There have definitely been some ups and downs, but we are encouraged by the amount of communication we are experiencing on Google Classroom from your kids! We wanted to keep you in the loop, in case you are not able to view their Google Classroom assignments. Here is what we have had so far in the way of assignments:
Assignment # 1
Sign up for SmartMusic (for students with laptops, computers, and iPads, DOES NOT work with cell phones).
*students who cannot access SmartMusic due to lack of technology will NOT be penalized.

SoundWaves Spring Trip
As I mentioned in my e-mail a few weeks ago, our Spring Trip (among other things) is cancelled for this year. This leaves us with a slight conundrum as some students had already contributed their $20.00 payment. It leaves us with the even larger problem that we currently don't have access to our finance system to process refunds. I wanted to get a sense as to how everyone felt in this situation. I've linked a short Google Form survey for you to fill out. This survey basically asks if you would like to a) have the funds transfer to next year's trip for your child, b) donate the funds for future Wildcat Band trips (8th grade parents), or c) receive a $20.00 refund. If you would like to receive a refund, please note that this will be a long process with us not being able to control our own finances at the moment, and it may take a few months before a check is mailed to your residence. If your child was not going to attend the spring trip, and you did not pay the $20 fee, please do not fill out the survey.
