News for Everyone
What Did We Do Last Week?
We also spent a lot of time getting choir students "set up" for the year in Remind and Schoology accounts, learning students' choir backgrounds, and discussing goals for the year. Please check with your child to ensure that they have enrolled in the correct Remind and Schoology courses. If they need Remind codes, they can be found under "Contact and Communication" on the choir website.
Schoology codes are:
Treble Choir: SC57-JCXF-M6DFZ
Tenor-Bass Choir: MFC4-KB2J-9Q43N
Chorale: 28HT-4RFN-HX3S8
Advanced Treble: BQRZ-6ZSX-5PQ35
Schedules
Beginning of Year Checklist
- Paperwork: Students should have brought home a small stapled packet of forms that need to be filled out and returned. If your child has lost their copy, they can be found on the choir website under the "Documents" tab.
- Fill out Shirt Sizes form.
- Sign up for class remind. Class codes can be found on the choir website under the "Contact and Communications" tab.
- Pay Choir Fee via RevTrak. For a description of choir fees, please see the document on the choir website under the "Documents" tab. You can find the RevTrak link below or via the choir website under "Choir Fees." Please be sure you select the choir fee. Students in Treble Choir (1st period), Tenor-Bass Choir (2nd Period), and Advanced Treble Choir (4th Period) are considered "Non-Varsity." Students in Chorale (3rd period) are considered "Varsity" and should pay the appropriate fee. However, students in a non-varsity class who wish to audition for the All-State process will want to select the "Varsity" fee as it includes the cost of the audition entry.
Upcoming Assignments
All students will begin a weekly assignment in Schoology this week. The assignment will open on Monday, and is due by 11:59 pm on Friday night before it is considered late. This week's assignment is titled "Week 1- Schoology Access Check." Please check in with your student to ensure they have enrolled in the correct choir schoology course.
If students do not have access to technology at home in order to complete the assignments, they are welcome to complete their assignment in the choir room using our class iPads BEFORE or AFTER school. Students may NOT complete their assignment during class so they need to plan ahead. A lack of planning will not exempt students from the late-work policy.

Chorale Updates
- Students are required to sing at Football Games on August 24th, September 29th, and possibly November 3rd (I am waiting on a schedule confirmation). These will all be performance grades for students. Game time is 7:00 pm and call time is 6:15 pm at Mercer Stadium. Transportation for football games is NOT provided so please begin planning now.
- Students are required to audition for the District round of the All-State process. Should they advance it is their choice whether or not to continue, but all students are required to learn the district round music that has been provided to them.
- Sectionals: Sectionals are offered for students auditioning in the All-State process. As of now they are NOT required, however, students need to be working independently and coming to sectionals for maximum success. They have practice tracks available to them in their Schoology course. While sectionals are not graded, the Mock Audition on September 5th and 7th will be so please check in on your child to ensure they are practicing and working on the first round of music.
