Schoology Issues TVS students PLEASE READ
In an effort to make Schoology more efficient, an attempt was made to merge our sections together on Friday. Unfortunately, it merged all TVS and F2F students, eliminating the work in several classes. The plan is for it to go back to the way it was and then try the correct merge again this Friday.
For this week,
- I WILL PUT THE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE VIRTUAL FOLDER and put a link to the virtual folder in Schoology until this is resolved.
- TVS will still be responsible for Edpuzzle warm ups, sightreadingfactory and their daily assignments.
- The 1st upload will not be due until Saturday. If you want to turn it in before then, save it to your google drive and share the link with me. There is a chance your work will be lost if you upload before Saturday.
- F2F students will only have the upload in schoology. The other assignments are for TVS students.
Make sure you are on the remind and I will keep you apprised of the Schoology status as it changes. Right now, 2nd, 4th and 6th are TVS and 3rd is F2F.

Solo Project DEADLINE MOVED
We started our Solo project which is for ALL THS CHOIR STUDENTS. The first upload is due Jan. 23rd. (see newsletter article above) All F2F students will need to bring headphones daily to work independently on their solo. All pdf, accompaniment tracks and rehearsal videos are in the UIL Solo and Ensemble folder in Schoology.
Bring headphones daily
Make sure you bring headphones to prepare your solo during class.
Flag Fundraiser Three Ways You Can Help
We are taking flag subscriptions for 2021 and our first day to set out is Presidents' Day. Our flag fundraiser not only raises money for our students on the spring trip, but it also keeps our choir fees low. Here are the easy ways you can help;
- Purchase a subscription.
- Set out flags for Presidents' day. Students can receive a letter jacket point, or it can go towards their trip account for this year or next year.
- Put the link on your social media and/or Nextdoor/subdivsion social pages
This is our most important fundraiser and the community loves it. Please help us with this awesome fundraiser.

The Virtual Warm ups are on hold until the Schoology issue is resolved.
