Google Team Drive
We have a new google team drive that I shared with you. It is call "THS Fine Arts Department". We will have meeting agendas, notes and several "go to" documents that our department uses frequently, such as financial forms, schooldude instructions, auditorium links, student travel forms, fundraising forms, updated vendor list, calendars and any other document you would like for me to add.
Google Calendar
Click the button below for the Fine Arts Department calendar. We can support our colleagues and foresee performance and rehearsal conflicts with our students. Let me know of any other dates that need to be added. I will include school-wide functions such as Open House, assemblies, department meetings, bell schedule changes and eligibility deadlines.
Cougar block
Cougar block begins SEPTEMBER 9th. Until then, we will be on regular schedule. Please let your private teachers know. There will be some additional time added between 5th period and A block. I will send you an updated schedule when I receive it.
Maintenance Issues?
If you have a maintenance issue, email IreneMendezZamudio@tomballisd.net with your concerns. Attach a picture if possible.
Let's Get The Word Out
We need to promote our awesome Fine Arts Department to the community!
- If your group does not have a twitter account, get one!
- Take pictures of MORE than just performances to promote what is coming up and all the hard work that our groups are doing: fundraisers, rehearsals, contests, etc.
- Make sure you tag JD (@FineArtsTomball) and Mr. Scott (@TISDTHS)
- If you don't have time to tweet, send them to me and I will tweet with the #THSFineArts
