Weekly update for the Chorus at Austin Middle School
2019-2020 Final Edition
Well, we've almost made it to the official end of the school year and digital learning is winding down. It has been a whirlwind to say the least. I hope that you and your family have been well and have been able to weather this unprecedented pandemic. I have prayed for each of your families and thought about all of you many times over the past several weeks. I miss the students, I miss creating with them, I miss watching them learn. I am looking forward to getting back to some type of normal come the fall.
In this edition, I am providing some final information regarding the end of the school year and how you can pick up some items or drop some items off at the school. Mr. Musgrove sent a letter out this morning with the details and I have attached it here in the newsletter as well. There are some specific chorus related things that need to be handled and I have outlined those below.
Through the summer I will post updated information about open house, the first day of school, and other chorus related items on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Be sure to follow us for the most updated info on returning back to school!
I am wishing you a wonderful summer full of opportunities to be with one another, sing a joyful song, and time to relax! See you in the fall at open house!
Mrs. Patrick
Letter from Mr. Musgrove about coming to the school to pick up/drop off items
FUNDRAISER PICK UP
If you sold items to teachers, I have taken those items out of your bags and will be distributing those to teachers for you. If you only sold to teachers, you will not have anything to pick up and your name is not on the list.
Please contact me if you have a question about this.
These students have items to pick up:
A. Atunez
S. Brown
I. Burrows
M. Clackum
A. Downs
C. Ergle
K. Lewis
F. May
M. McGregor
M. Rushing
A. Scarnatino
E. Stubbs
A. White
RENTAL DRESS RETURN
Dresses will be available for rental again at the beginning of next school year if needed.
How do I know if I have a rental dress? If you paid $25 to the chorus and did not receive a NEW dress, then you have a rental dress.
When you drop the dress off at the school, please sign the sheet on the table and indicate that it is a rental dress. I will then check these off with our records.
If you are in 8th grade and you do not want to keep your dress (both high schools use different dresses), would you mind donating your dress to the chorus program? It helps us to be able to continue our rental program and help those who enroll late in the year! Please bring it with you when you come to the school.
DO YOU KNOW AN UPCOMING 6TH GRADER?

Final Digital Learning Day Information
After May 8th no NEW assignments will be added to Canvas. The final two weeks are to be used to catch up on any assignments you have not completed. If you are missing assignment or if you have not done the assignments during digital learning days, you can work on them up until the official last day of school which is May 22nd. After May 22nd, no work can be accepted.
Digital Learning can only HELP your overall grade. If your 3rd nine weeks grade was lower than you wanted and brought your overall year average down, you may want to be sure you have completed your digital learning.
At the end of May, if your 4th nine week grade is higher than your 3rd nine week grade, we will average it together for your final grade. If your 4th nine week grade is lower than your 3rd nine week grade, we will override your 4th nine week grade with your 3rd nine week grade.
If you have any questions regarding grading, please let me know.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all navigate these unprecedented times.
