Elementary Music Notes
Info for the Tedious Details of the Year
Elementary Music Friends!
BOOKMARK this newsletter and plan to return to it again and again with info as you need it. I will update this very newsletter as needed throughout the year - literally SAVE IT and make it a favorite in the ribbon of your internet browser so when you have a middle of the night question and can't remember what I said, you can refer to this newsletter.
Have a wonderful school year! Not to freak you out but YOU are the literal foundation of all things music in Paulding County! No pressure! I'm kidding - it is just that you are really very important and I don't want you to forget that. Thank you a million times for all you do for students in your music classrooms! Our high school marching bands taking top honors thank you, our MS and HS choral groups succeeding at festival thank you, and our students entering college to study music thank you! Elementary Music will always have my heart.

Good rule of thumb on contacting me: Text First - If I can't answer, I won't but a text is a great way to get me and I can get to you as soon as I am able.
I typically only turn OFF my phone on certain occasions - Holidays, Vacations, During Church, During Performances, While in Classrooms on Visits, etc....Leave a text and I will get back to you!
So with that I say - welcome back to our veteran Paulding elementary music folks and WELCOME to our new friends! We are glad to have you!
Let's make it a great year!
