PSHS Choral Department Newsletter
October 2018
Welcome!
Here's the first edition of the Choral Department Newsletter for the 2018-2019 year. I hope to be able to update students and families with timely news at least once each quarter. I'm beginning with great intentions. We'll see how far I can get :-)
We're going to have a wonderful year of fantastic choral singing!
~Mr. Weberg

Please, sign up for SeeSaw
This year, all Choral Students will be compiling a portfolio of their work using the app SeeSaw. The app is available for many platforms including desktop computers, tablets, and phones. I have already asked the students to download and begin to use the Classroom App. Parents are invited to download the Family App so they will be able to peruse student portfolios as they are developed. Instructions for connecting with your child's portfolio will be forthcoming.
Individual student portfolios are only visible to Mr. Weberg, the student, and the student's family.
