WJH BEGINNER BAND
February Update
Rhythm Chart Testing!
This 9 weeks, every student is required to pass off 2 rhythm charts. We have already taken our first test, and grades are in Powerschool. Our next test will be on February 10th. It may take more than one day to hear each student, but all students need to be ready on the 10th!
If your child did not pass his or her first chart, there is still time! We allow unlimited retakes during recess or in the morning. Please contact me if you are concerned about your child's rhythm chart test grade. Please make it a goal to have your child make up his or her first test now, so that they can focus on the next test, which is Feb. 10th! Remember: No student can take their 2nd test until they have passed their first test!
