Newsletter #3
All About Fine Arts! (June 15-19)
Hello Future Tapp Students and Families,
In this week's newsletter, you will meet our the Fine Arts team at Tapp Middle School. Each director also provides brief details about what students can expect in their class. It is highly encouraged that your student join Band, Orchestra, and/or Chorus. Typically, students who participate in a Fine Arts class do better academically in school.
Students have the option of choosing two fine arts classes to take for the entire year. More information about the Fine Arts program will be sent via snail mail in the next few weeks. However, please peruse the websites below to find more details.
Reminder:
Please utilize our form below to ask us your questions about 6th grade or Tapp Middle School. They will be answered in the last newsletter, released on June 29th with our awesome parent facilitator, Mrs. Laura Shyman. The form link should be working. If you have any concerns, let us know.
