PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Dear Parents,
You will soon receive the first trimester report card by US mail. This document reflects the hard work and progress your child has made during the school year. In addition, the report card indicates areas for growth and improvement. I encourage you to take time to review the report card with your child.
Due to the COVID guidelines, the report card for music has slightly changed....
Demonstrates proper singing skills:
It is not possible to sing in the school building at this time. Although singing at home is possible, unstable internet connections and other issues make remote singing assessments problematic to administer. Therefore, students will receive a N/A in this category for Trimester 1.
Demonstrates skill on various instruments
During Trimester 1, because students were unable to practice on various instruments, , learning targets in Music were focused on the foundational skills that support instrument playing (e.g., beat, rhythmic skills, and performance with a group).
Below I have listed some suggestions to consider as you discuss the report card:
*Let your child give you his/her first impressions of the report card. Allow your child the opportunity to highlight areas of strength and interest.
*Let your child point out areas for growth and improvement
*Work with your child to identify goals and some simple steps your child can take to realize those goals.
*Take time to carefully review the progress being made in our specials program such as Art, Music, PE, etc…
*Ask your child to comment on their overall school experience. Have them comment on their friends in class and at school. Have them discuss their daily schedule of activities.
Report card time is an opportunity to celebrate progress and the love of learning. Keep your child motivated and inspired by making time to discuss the school year and the many experiences your child is having in elementary school. Finally, feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions regarding our educational programming.
Have a wonderful day!
Dr. Dwyer
Inspire every child to discover, learn, achieve, and care.
